| Abstract: | Statoil a.s, Den norske stats oljeselskap, made home PCs, Private ISDN connections and Internet access freely to vir- tually all of its about 18.000 employees worldwide in 1997. The goal of this unprecedented initiative was to improve in- formation technology (it) skills of Statoil employees in preparation for competition in the emerging knowledge econo- my. Statoil management taught that availability of PC's at home could create a natural learning environment for employ- ees to acquire IT skills during their leisure time. Although the initiative has resulted in improvement of employee IT skills, ad predicted, it has also brought about many emer- gent outcomes including a rapidly working from home practice at Statoil. In this paper, the authors describe evolution and outcomes of Statoil's working from home initiative. |
