Summary

With the help of renowned Swedish communication consultant Hans Johnsson, Professor Boulger looks at the emergence of a fundamental revolution in how people work, live, and earn a living. How new technologies have influenced and transformed all of that and more are examined. Issues, options and consequences surrounding the decentralization of the management communication process due to changes in technology are reviewed. The legal foundations for communication-related issues such as employee and client privacy, e-mail usage, and online content restrictions are also reviewed.
