Hans Schaffers, Wolfgang Prinz, Robert J. Slagter · 2006
The introduction of new technologies and processes for communication, collaboration and knowledge exchange has changed considerably our work environment and the way we are organising our work. In this paper the implications of flexible mobile and collaborative workplaces for global value networks are explored through future scenarios and roadmapping. In particular we focus on the advances in mobile and location-aware workplaces and their role in organising and coordinating global business activities. The paper presents several mobile workplace scenarios and outlines a roadmap and a research agenda for strategic research and innovation.
