Article Abstract:
More than nine million Americans already have tried working at home, and the number is expected to grow steadily in the next decade. Profound social implications are associated with this change, from an absence of difficulties associated with commuting to the disappearance of office gossip and office politics. Work hours will be more fluid, gossip and friendships will be conducted electronically and managers will have to rethink their styles of management. People who work successfully in their homes - telecommuters, independent contractors or entrepreneurs - describe themselves as self-disciplined, seeing the motivating structure at an office as irrelevant and counterproductive.

Trademark for exports is quality
Article Abstract:
The Sri Lankan government is keen to make progress towards becoming a newly-industrialized country, mainly through private sector investment and diversification. Privatization has already played a key role in modernizing the country's industrial base and boosting its competitiveness, and the government regards the private sector as a key driving force for economic transformation. It is also placing emphasis on becoming internationally competitive, as it acknowledges that the internal market will only ever be quite small.

A multidisciplinary analysis of the structure of persuasive arguments
Article Abstract:
Persuasive argumentation is a basic practice in many fields and should be studied using a multidisciplinary approach. Stephen Toulmin has provided a useful model of rule-based argumentation with six parts: grounds, warrants, claims, backing, qualifiers and rebuttals. However, Toulmin's model should be modified to include case-based and policy-based reasoning and to expand the role of rebuttals.
