Excerpt: Outsourcing often refers to the process of contracting to a third-party. While outsourcing may be viewed as a component to the growing division of labor encompassing all societies, the term did not enter the English-speaking lexicon until the 1980s. Since the 1980s, transnational corporations have increased subcontracting across national boundaries. In the United States, outsourcing is a popular political issue. A precise definition of outsourcing has yet to be agreed upon. Thus, the term is used inconsistently. However, outsourcing is often viewed as involving the contracting out of a business function to an external provider. In this sense, two organizations may enter a contractual agreement involving an exchange of services and payments. Of recent concern is the ability of businesses to outsource to suppliers outside the nation, sometimes referred to as offshoring or offshore outsourcing (which are odd terms because doing business with another country does not mean you have to go offshore) In addition, several related terms have emerged to grasp various aspects of the complex relationship between economic organizations or networks, such as nearshoring, multisourcing and strategic outsourcing. Almost any conceivable business practice can be outsourced for any number of stated reasons. The implications of outsourcing objectively and subjectively vary a...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=235890 ... Read more

Product Description
Over the last decades, scientists studying the causes and consequences of the greenhouse effect haveconcluded that human-caused greenhouse gases(GHG) have an influence on climate. Ownership of automobiles has increased significantly in the past hundred years, and the total number of vehicles is predicted to increase to 1.2 billion by 2020. This growth is directly proportional to higher GHG emissions, air pollution and noise, and shows clearly the need for behavioral change in this sector.This book considers the implementation of telecommuting as a chance to reduce GHG emissions from the transport sector. The analysis carried to identify the economic and environmental savings attached to this working method highlights the importance of telecommuting comparing Germany, USA,the United Kingdom and South Korea.The author presents different telework programs and analyzes them under the development of several scenarios, to conclude that teleworking is an economic profitable method for companies, their employees and countries. This book is a gateway to environmental consciousness in a time when the world begins to understand the importance of climate change. ... Read more

An excellent overview of research for in-depth study
A well-structured collection of empirical research-based articles which provide useful background reading for any academic or advanced student.A variety of mostly European sources make it more relevant and applicablethan most US based journal articles and books.Not really suitable for"dissection" or for students below Honours level, as much of thetheory is not self contained, and requires considerable academicunderpinning.I have found it indispensable, however, for my teaching ofICT-enabled organisational innovations to third and fourth BusinessInformation Management undergraduates.

Comprehensive survey of the state of the art
Paul Jackson and Jos van der Wielen are researchers and lecturers with deep experience of investigating and analysing telework. In this book they have assembled and edited contributions by some 20 experts from a widerange of disciplines to produce the most comprehensive perspective on thesubject available to date. Each chapter has a complete set of references,making this a valuable start point for new research, as well as animportant record of the state of the art in telework-related studies at theend of the twentieth century. ...

From the supplier: The implementation of telecommuting in corporations provides employees with such benefits as less exposure to air pollution and inconvenience caused by traffic jams and provides management with such advantages as the elimination of the necessity to maintain a mainframe computer and the lower incidence of employee absenteeism. For the government, the benefits include less wear on roads and transport vehicles.

Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A075104. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: One of President Clinton's family-friendly initiatives includes PL 106-346, which requires Executive agencies and departments to aggressively develop, implement, and encourage telecommuting arrangements for civilian employees. Telecommuting goals include the ability to attract and retain the highest caliber employees, increase employee morale, and enable employees to obtain a better balance between work and family. This research determines if the successes realized and lessons learned in other organizations (GSA, DCAA, and AT&T) can be applied to Southwest Division Naval Facilities Engineering Command (SWDIV) to develop an implementation strategy for flexible workplace arrangements at SWDIV. To determine if SWDIV should implement telecommuting, this study reviews existing research, analyzes laws and regulations, and analyzes cases of governmental and private organizations that have flexible workplace arrangements. The research data applied to SWDIV indicates that SWDIV should implement a Flexiplace program. SWDIV can reasonably expect to see benefits in employee retention, increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and better space utilization. ... Read more
