    A guided tour through the ins and outs of telecommuting covers basics of setting up a home office and includes a discussion of ""virtual corporations""--groups of professionals who band together and telecommute to even out the workload. (All Users)....

    Are you working from a home computer right now? Would you prefer to work from home? If so, consider getting The Underground Guide to Telecommuting, one of the livelier and more irreverent guides to telecommuting. I've telecommuted on-and-off since 1989, so I can honestly say that Leonard discusses most of the important bases: setting up a good workspace, establishing reliable telecommunications, and, most importantly, dealing with zoning boards, the postal service, bosses, your neighbors, and even the IRS.

As an interesting aside, I was struck by the playful, and conversational writing style of this book. I have often noted that people's writing changes when working from home - in part because of the greater freedom, sleep deprivation from enjoying working too much -- and not having anyone to talk to!...

    Employees, organizations and society alike should grow the virtual workplace, the authors argue, as the multiple, tangible benefits of telework for each of these three stakeholders largely outweigh the costs. To help stakeholders benefit from the virtual workplace they analyze four key issues: telework adoption, implementation, tracking and impacts. The authors develop the comprehensive EOS framework to examine both the interaction among employees, organizations and society, and the linkages among telework impacts, tracking, implementation and adoption.Unique features of the book include an integrative framework for increasing telework adoption; practical tips - specific to each stakeholder - on how best to implement and measure telework; and an analysis of original survey data exploring the virtual workplace adoption decision. Readership for this book includes academic experts on telecommuting, policymakers involved in transportation, human resource or environmental policies, and managers and employees considering telework....
