Paragraph:

The political process has a significant impact on virtual workforces. Brown,

Royer, Waterhouse, and Ridge (2005) studied how organizations innovate and create

new technology to allow remote employees to communicate virtually. This has changed

a great deal since 2005, but the important aspect of rethinking how employees and

managers do business and manage assignments within the virtual workplace is

discussed. As online education continues to evolve, more changes will be necessary

within online colleges and universities to keep up with the changing technology and to

restructure their workforce to meet the needs of students. These changes can result in

new organizational structures that lead to the need for less hierarchy within an

organization (Brown, Royer, Waterhouse, & Ridge, 2005).
