"The emergence of new technologies has changed the form and character of organizations worldwide. Until now, the extent and significance of these changes have not been subjected to systematic, broadly based empirical study. Underpinned by a European survey and eight case studies, this book is designed to fill this gap and provides a clear, current picture of the development of new forms of organizing." "The rich array of data supplied by the case studies provides a fresh insight into experiments in innovative forms of organizing - including internal networks, changes in global organizing, HRM, leadership, and communication processes and teams - thereby providing new perspectives on directions for organizational research."--Jacket.
