Subject: BlackBerrys and work/life balance
Hi all,
I am conducting research on the impact of BlackBerry's (of the
technological kind) on work/life balance. I would be very interested to
make contact with others who might be doing research in this area ... or
have some interesting experiences to share!
kind regards,
Judi
