From the Paper:

"Remote management is quickly becoming a common issue with medium to large companies, and usually occurs when two companies merge or expand. "This is how it is supposed to go: Company A meets Company B. At first they bicker, but you know its love. They dance about, they clinch, and they merge. Company AB lives happily ever after and eventually spins off a few little ones. Ahhh isn't that sweet" But let's face it; it doesn't always go that way." (Bodnar, 2001). It doesn't always go that way because of many reasons, but one of the most important reasons becomes remote management. This affects many areas such as a company's culture and business practices, communications, individual management styles, employee recognition and production, and computer/information systems. For merging and expanding companies to be successful, they must be able to master remote management. The following dialogue will discuss issues with remote management and some "real-life" solutions that can be applied."
