Working from Home: A Productivity Option

Article Abstract:

An experiment by Rank Xerox in England is structured so that Xerox provides networking and contracts with workers who are organized as small independent businesses and are encouraged to extend their services to others besides Xerox. The workers use Wordstar word processing and the Supercalc spreadsheet on Xerox 820 microcomputers. Xerox is developing the Ethernet local area network to provide communication with such office material as printers and graphics software. Xerox, together with City University also provides the new entrepreneurs with training. Contracts resolve such issues as: job costing; bulk discounts; output ownership; equipment leasing; and security. The pros and cons of working at home are discussed.
