Globalization of business, internationalization of trade, and increasing prevalence of multi-cultural interdisciplinary teams are beginning to redefine the nature of office work. Different-time/different-place/different-culture teams will become the norm.

Same-time/same-place/same-culture teams will become the exception.

The International Office of the Future (IOF) will be a dramatically different environment than that which exists in the majority of today's organizations.

Prospects for the IOF give rise to numerous questions, which are addressed in this book.
