road warriors
by Barry Wellman 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

I am posting this query to both the Community list and the AOIR list, because of its relevance to both. I've been flying around a lot recently giving lectures and attending conferences: to scholarly, governmental and corporate dot.com groups. In so doing, I frequently encounter what _PC Magazine_ calls "road warriors", albeit the opposite of Mad Max. These are managers, professionals and technicians who spend a good deal of time traveling, either between organizational offices, or to other organizations or conferences. Modally, 2-4 days per week. They live by computer-supported and 800-number contact back to their home base. If you get into business lounges, you can see them pounding their laptops, checking their emails, and talking via 800 numbers to their colleagues elsewhere. They spend a lot of time in corporate hotels (e.g., the misnamed Holiday Inn), bars, medium-priced restaurants, and airport lounges. Has anyone seriously studied such folks? How do they sustain this mobile life? What is their community, with work colleagues and friends -- and household members? Etc.

Web-based Surveys
by Berquist＠uts.cc.utexas.edu 20 Aug '02

20 Aug '02

A few months ago, there was some discussion about online surveys--particularly regarding methodology and design. My question is more practical--can anyone recommend software to design a web-displayed survey that will easily capture data into a backend database? I've looked at SPSS Data Entry (TM), but would like to receive recommendations from others who have completed web-based surveys and are pleased with the software they have worked with. Thanks, Lon Berquist Telecommunications and Information Policy Institute The University of Texas at Austin

Hi all, I'm starting a research on the transformations created by the introduction of the Internet in government services (i.e. how it affects the decision making process and the relationships between civil servants and citizens). I would be grateful for the references of any relevant literature using a sociological approach. Thanks for your help, Viviane Serfaty Assistant Professor Institut d'Etudes politiques Strasbourg, France www.vserfaty.cjb.net
