This paper examines the nature of satellite office management and its implications regarding the traditional Japanese management model. It commences by first defining the telework concept and describing the global background to this altenative work option. It then outlines the background and current status of telework in Japan. After a brief discussion of general issues concerning satellite-office management in Japan, more specific features are considered based on a comparative study of satellite offices in Japan and North America conducted by the author. This analysis includes the extent to which certain Japanese satellite-office case studies incorporate key elements of office-based telecommuting and the results of a multiple regression analysis conducted as part of the afore-mentioned comparative study. These results are presented in the form of a series of recommendations about areas in which Japanese organizations should concentrate their efforts in order to increase the successful operation of satellite-office pilots. The third section of the paper examines the implications of office-based telecommuting vis-a-vis traditional Japanese management methods. It first considers the basic stance of traditional Japanese management towards telework, and then focusses on the impact this has on the actual operation of office-based telecommuting programs. The paper concludes with a series of proposals concerning the effective management of satellite offices, discussing aspects of traditional Japanese management practices which are well-suited to office-based telecommuting as well as aspects which need to be revised. In particular, a shift in management mentality and a firm committment to the telework concept are deemed to be essential to the effective implementation of office-based telework.
