This paper describes and analyses an ‘officeless firm’, where all employees work from their own homes. Drawing upon observations and interviews, the modes of communication and the nature of the interpersonal relationships that have permitted this organisation to succeed are described, along with the challenges that face this organisation in the future as it attempts to grow.
