Collective Information Processing and Computer Mediated Communication: an Overview of Major Theoretical Frameworks
نویسندگان
چکیده
How problem-solving and decision-making groups process information can impact outcome of their efforts. Information processing by groups, or collective information processing (CIP), in turn, is influenced by group communication. With the increasing use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) technologies by organizational workgroups, it makes sense that CIPCMC theoretical frameworks are reexamined and opportunities for research identified. In this paper, we provide an overview of major theories related to CIP and CMC, and develop suggestions for future research.
