520    "Today, almost all organizations are struggling with the 
       impact that virtualization is having on the workplace. Yet,
       a full comprehension of what the costs of virtualization 
       are, is lacking. This book introduces the concept of 
       virtual distance to show businesses what they have felt 
       has been occurring all along, that there are definite 
       costs to doing work in a virtual environment. It then goes
       a step further and offers proven methods for measuring 
       these costs and guidance on managing them. This book will 
       be updated with data collected from companies that employ 
       millions of people since its introduction. It will show 
       that virtual distance working has remained stable and has 
       gotten stronger over the 10 years since the first edition 
       published. New case studies will be added throughout the 
       book. As our society continues its transition from the 
       Industrial Age to the Digital Age, new challenges are 
       being introduced into the workplace. Organizational models
       are shifting toward large, global networks of employees 
       connected to each other through technology, giving rise to
       a new phenomenon, Virtual Distance. Virtual distance is 
       comprised of three major axes: physical distance 
       (geographic, time zone, or organizational), operational 
       distance (team size, technical skill level), and affinity 
       distance (cultural differences, interdependence distance, 
       working relationships, and social distance). Virtual 
       distance creates real challenges to innovation, leadership,
       and overall performance and companies that know how to 
       manage the impact of virtual distance have a big 
       competitive advantage"--|cProvided by publisher.
