A final operating consideration is how the absence of detailed rules and regulations will affect work. Rules and regulations are of value to respond to the legal environment, such as the proper legal steps to pursue progressive discipline or standardized aspects of work such as the use of electronic forms. The presence of some policy, rules and regulations in and of themselves does not translate into a rule-bound and red tape-filled bureaucracy. The entire ring organization must be committed to avoiding this negative side to operating procedures. At the same time, many user-friendly approaches can be developed to both guide and educate organization members on the routine side of organizational life. The virtual workplace may be filled with guidelines and decisions-support software, question and answer material and case examples, all of which serve to inform and educate rather than limit and control.
