Political and economic changes taking place in developed countries since the late nineties led to a major transformation of work systems, creating new types of work, such as telework, virtual teams or work at a distance. The very term teleworking and virtual teams or virtual organizations are quite new in the world of scientific literature. In fact, they appeared in the late twentieth century together with the development of technology, computing, communication systems and this in turn led to an even greater access to information. Continuous technological development has even greater than ever influence on management, and especially on the improvement and creation of value added. The amount of digital information is constantly growing in all fields: sent over the Internet, telephone networks and the use of other forms of electronic media. This article explains the concept of telework, virtual teams, and focuses on the consequences of their usage in practice by companies which are operating in Poland, such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, McKinsey & Company, UPS, Irevna or companies belonging to the so-called 'Big Four'.

The aim of this article is to present agent-based systems, and of course multi-agent-based systems, as a new tool for sociological research. Agent-based systems have broader potential than just a modelling and simulation method. This article as a whole has an ambition to understand and identify main possibilities of use that agent-based systems can have in sociology. Agent-based systems, agent-based approach or methodology can be understood as a new tool to observe, collect or analyse data sets. In this article some possible pathways and functions of agent-based systems are shown and discussed a few methodological issues connected with the contemporary character of society. In the first two sections the basic characteristics of the agent-based systems and the types of the agents are presented. In the third section theoretical issues about character of contemporary societies and their relations to agent-based methodology are argued. Further it is focused on the ways in which agent-based systems are used in sociology. Last, but not least it introduces new approaches of agent-based methodology: SPA approach and GMABS methodology.
