Description

Reviews

As our business world becomes increasingly virtual, we are asked to meet the challenge of managing and developing those who work within this organizational structure.  This book presents a customer-driven performance model for measuring performance of employees who are not co-located.  Case studies illustrate the unique issues that managers of virtual workers face on a daily basis.  The book is full of information and strategies to enable adult educators and human resource professionals to work within the virtual world in a more effective manner.

"The book's value and 'cutting edge' is in calling attention to the needs of virtual workers that function within a traditional organization...an appropriate book on a recommended reading list in university classes and by workers and managers in both traditional and virtual organizations, as most of the suggestions apply to both." -- Darlene Y. Bruner, Ed.D., Mentoring and Tutoring, Vol. 12, No. 1, April 2004
