Transformation of the Workplace:  The Web and Work in the 21st Century is
volume in the series of research monographs entitled Advances in Management
Information Systems (AMIS).  More information about AMIS can be found at

The Web has changed how and where we work. The world is now connected at the
fingertip level - the exchange of information on a personal level and
business level is staggering.  As the printing press was the invention of
the last millennium revolutionizing how we worked, the Web will be the
invention of this millennium. For this volume, authors are invited to submit
original conceptual, empirical, or case-based research which enhances our
understanding of Web usage in the in 21st Century workplace.  We seek to
draw upon a broad spectrum of perspectives including, but not limited to,
public policy, sociology, psychology, economics, legal, as well as
organizational behavior, strategy, and information technology to aid in
increasing our understanding. 
In this book we seek to capture what we know about working in this
hyper-connected workplace.  Workplace Web usage can create desirable
individual, group, organizational and societal outcomes.  However, using the
Web can also generate undesirable outcomes at all of these levels.  The
mechanisms controlling the interface of individual and institution in the
flexible, open, autonomous work environment created by the Web are emergent
phenomena, and the lines between constructive usage and dysfunctional usage
are just beginning to be understood.  In this volume, we seek to present an
integrated picture of our current knowledge on the impact of the Web as well
as the research methods and models for generating new knowledge on how
people interact with the Web in their work functions.
