The 11th International Workshop on Telework, August 28-31, 2006
Fredericton, New Brunswick
Canada
_Second Call for Papers_
Deadline for submissions: March 15, 2006
The University of New Brunswick (UNB) will host the Eleventh
International Workshop on Telework, August 28-31, 2006 in Fredericton,
New Brunswick, Canada. This year's Workshop will be the first held in
North America, occurring in Canada's first city to support a free urban
wireless network. The aim of the event is to generate interaction and
the sharing of ideas among academic researchers and business
practitioners around the development and maintenance of
computer-mediated networks. All papers selected for presentation will
become part of the printed proceedings, which will be available to all
registrants. Authors of select articles will also be invited to submit
their paper for publication in a forthcoming book.
The theme of the 2006 workshop is "e-Networks in an Increasingly
Volatile World". The increasing rate of technological innovation and a
growing concern for continuity through periods of large-scale
interruptions from natural, technological, and human-induced events are
some factors contributing to a heightened sense of uncertainty and
social turbulence. A major challenge today is how individuals,
organizations and regions can leverage human capital to collaborate
through unprecedented and complex work/life-scenarios. This workshop
looks specifically at examining work strategies that involve e-networks
that contribute to greater preparedness. We currently invite papers in
the following themes:
Special Streams for Workshop 2006
1) Mitigating risk via E-networks.
2) Creating public infrastructures that support E-networks
3) Work/life balance: The tangled web of work and home networks.
Standing E-Work Streams
1) Organizational Change (complexity, ambiguity, conflict)
2) E-Collaboration, Technological Innovations & Support (platforms,
collaboration)
3) Workspace Design (facilities, virtual space)
4) HRM Practices (diversity, professional development, retention)
5) E-learning in the workplace (content, delivery)
6) Community/Regional Initiatives (job creation, community viability,
public policy)
