16、“ says John Edwards, President of the International Telework Association and Council.

17、hey have to change to more results-oriented management style which can often be slightly opposite, so they feel uncomfortable with that.“ Edwards says telecommuting kills distance-and a lot of face to face meetings are replaced by tele-conferences. “Distance does not exist anymore.
