Abstract
Information technology makes possible working patterns with flexibility in location and time. But traditional assumptions of managerial control serve as a strong deterrent. This article deals with these issues through an analysis of interviews at ICL and Texaco UK, with managers and high‐level employees who work partially at home. Rank Xerox networkers are used as a point of comparison.Keywords
