This title was first published in 2000. Since the 1970s there has
been widespread debate on the potential of information
communication technologies on the organization of work and in
particular, the implications of and opportunities engendered
through telework and the decentralization of the workplace.
However, despite the possible spatial, cultural, social and
economic implications, much of the telework debate has been
informed by anecdotal examples, journalistic reporting and
individual forecasts. This book aims to further the debate by
analyzing the scale, nature and experience of telework in the
countryside. It examines how and by whom, telework is set up, and
what policy and social changes are taking place to facilitate it in
rural areas. Individual teleworkers and the organizations using
them are questioned to assess whether rural teleworking is proving
as advantageous in practice as it is thought to be in theory. Its
conclusions suggest that teleworking may not yet be the solution to
the many rural problems such as unemployment and depopulation and
that businesses and local authorities still need to develop their
policies and strategies to allow this type of working to reach its
potential.
