for the vast majority of French people
confined. By 2024, face-to-face meetings will only represent 25% of
company meetings, compared to 60% before
Covid-19 crisis (Gartner, 2020). This
trend could change the effect

companies where communication tools are not a substitute for meetings
face to face (Boukef Charki and Kalika,
2006).
