ABSTRACT

It is difficult to say how much the internet and digital media are responsible for the dramatic changes in the contemporary world of work, and how much changes in the world of work are responsible for the increased development and adoption of digital technologies. Much of the increase in internet use by companies has been driven by broader economic changes brought about by globalization. It is doubtful, however, that globalization would have been possible without the increased connectivity and speed of communication brought about by digital technologies.
