The traditional offices, where organizational activities are accomplished and where managers and the workers work, have given place to virtual offices within the conditions of the Knowledge Society. The virtual office doesnt’t have a physical space and the activities are performed through web sites by use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). ICTs compass any form of audio, visual, printed and written tools which enable the production and transfer of and access to knowledge. Relying on the technological advancements of today, computers and softwares, modems, satellite dishes, mobile phones, networks, multimedia and e-mails come forward as new ICTS. The functionality and the productivity of virtual offices depend on employing educated personnel, as well as the use of the modern ICTs and having a suitable technological infrastructure.
