In dieser Auflage konzentriert man sich darauf, die Menschen in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen und zu beschreiben, wie virtuelles Arbeiten funktioniert. Alle Beispiele und Fallstudien der Erstausgabe wurden umfassend aktualisiert; neue sind hinzugekommen, so z.B. von Shell Oil, Motorola und Pfizer. Darüber hinaus wird der Zugriff auf Informationen der Autoren-Webseiten ermöglicht.
