Tele-working as a viable option for increasing productivity amongst Telkom wholesale managers.

M. Tech. Business Administration (MBA) / With the opening of the telecommunications market to any telecommunication entity with an Electronic Communications Network Service licence, the sustained profitability of well-established telecommunications operators such as Telkom SA and Neotel is under threat. As the telecoms market has reached saturation point due to a variety of economic growth factors, immature business practices and strategies have been opted for to reduce operating costs. However, it does seem that current market demands do not favour a focus on profitability only. The concept of teleworking has spread throughout the world in the effort to increase productivity while decreasing operating expenses. Teleworking implies that staff can "work from anywhere and at any time except in a fixed office". The objective of this study was to assess to what extent teleworking could increase productivity at Telkom SA.
