Through this article, we have tried to demystify the concept of Remote Management, retrace its genesis and reveal the imperativeness of its use.

We have subsequently exposed a concrete model to endorse the effective use of this configuration several years before the recent infatuation for telecommuting. Our choice fell on a regional project of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), called MYTecC, Mediterranean Youth Technology Club, mainly for its avant-garde characteristics. Without claiming to present it as a case study, this project includes several responses about Remote Management since it relies, for the achievement of its objectives, on the involvement of a multicultural team, geographically detached but virtually homogeneous and noticeably operational.

Abstract
Through this article, we have tried to demystify the concept of Remote Management, retrace its genesis and reveal the imperativeness of its use. Given the main objective of providing a better understanding of this organizational configuration, we have identified the major key tools and related behaviors, shedding light on the new challenges assigned to contemporary E-Managers.On this basis, we have first undertaken a historical overview to demonstrate that remote management is an operational consequence of drastic changes, at disparate eras and places, in our interaction modes. We have subsequently exposed a concrete model to endorse the effective use of this configuration several years before the recent infatuation for telecommuting. Our choice fell on a regional project of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), called MYTecC, Mediterranean Youth Technology Club, mainly for its avant-garde characteristics. Without claiming to present it as a case study, this project includes several responses about Remote Management since it relies, for the achievement of its objectives, on the involvement of a multicultural team, geographically detached but virtually homogeneous and noticeably operational.

Abstract: (french)
A travers cet article, nous avons tenté de démystifier le concept du Management à Distance, retracer sa genèse et révéler l’impérativité de son usage. L’objectif étant de dispenser une meilleure compréhension de cette configuration organisationnelle, nous avons identifié, sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, les principaux outils et comportements y afférents, cristallisant au passage les pixels des challenges assignés aux E-Managers contemporains.A ce titre, nous avons en premier lieu entrepris un survol historique pour démontrer que le management à distance est une résultante opérationnelle des mutations de nos modes d’interactions, et ce à des aires et espaces géographiques disparates. Un modèle concret est ensuite exposé en vue d’étayer que cette configuration a déjà été fait ses preuves plusieurs années avant le récent engouement pour le télétravail. Notre choix s’est donc porté sur le projet MYTecC (Clubs Technologique des Jeunes de la Méditerranée) du programme régional du PNUD (Programme des Nations Unies pour le Développement) principalement pour son caractère avant-gardiste. Sans prétendre le présenter comme un cas d’étude, ce projet comprend plusieurs réponses en orbite du management à distance puisqu’il repose, pour l’atteinte de ses objectifs, sur le concours d’une équipe multiculturelle, éloignée géographiquement mais virtuellement homogène et manifestement opérationnelle.
