The fifth International Telework Workshop was held in Stockholm in the
fall of 2000. The conference was attended by almost 100 participants
from all continents of the world. It therefore covered a broad range of
subjects relating to Telework. Its success was in some part due to the
work of the program committee composed of Birger Rapp (General
Chairman), Maarten Botterman, Geoff Dick, Gil Gordon, Ursula Huws, Paul
Jackson, Peter Johnston, Patricia L. Mokhtarian, Victor de Pous, Lars
Qvotrup, Wendy Spinks and Reirna Suomi. After the conference we decided
to write a book on the theme "Organization and the future after 2000".
Many of the participants as well as others were invited to contribute a
chapter of about ten pages. The resulting book of almost 400 pages
therefore provides a comprehensive overview of ongoing research in the
field of Telework. Birger Rapp and Paul Jackson edited the book. The
intended audience for this book spans disciplinary and professional
boundaries. It primarily relates to the disciplines of Business and
Management Studies, Information Management, E-commerce and E-business.
In a broader sense, it relates to Sociology, Media Studies and
Economics.
