The traditional 9 to 5 workplace has now been replaced by concepts such as time and space sharing. The smartphone has become an extension of individuals and decision making no longer involves face to face interaction or brainstorming. Working remotely is gaining trend. The corporate strategy of the modern organization will now need to incorporate these changes. A major change that has impacted workplaces is the elimination of traditional barriers to communication. Fear is being eliminated as well.
