B. Ghilic-Micu, Professor, PhD, M. Stoica, Professor, PhD Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania A REDEFINITION OF TELEWORK THROUGH CLOUD COMPUTING – TELEWORK 2.0

Posted on by

In this paper we aim to analyse two paradigms, from the perspective of the mutual recursivity between them: telework and cloud computing. The main purpose of this scientific endeavour is to determine the level of support of each paradigm for the other and the synergic effect generated by their interdependence. We will approach functional, juridical and environmental issues. As result, we aim to highlight the way Cloud computing solutions may revolutionize all that is telework and who telework may be redefined through the transition to a superior level, called telework 2.0.

Key words. telework, Cloud computing, business reengineering, Green telework, management.
