VII. Read the following passage then answer the questions below. (10 pts)
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and
offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or
typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can
communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office
computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates
that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising
annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week
published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting
become more popular? Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active
resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the
telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at
least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s
responsibilities.
