This paper examines the mutual relationship between the organizational use of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) and organizational culture (OC). CMC supplements communication among members of an organization to maintain the culture, especially when those persons cannot communicate by other means. On the other hand, a strong OC allows a more effective use of CMC by providing members with som...

The paper presents a critical inquiry into the relationship between Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) and progressive rationalisation in modern organisations. By drawing on the evidence from a field study of a University consultative process, the paper investigates how communicative practices embedded in a public discourse via CMC influence rationalisation of organisational processes. This ...

The importance of electronic media (especially CMC) for intra-organisational communication and for the transfer of information within multi-national corporations will be illustrated. In addition, a number of different barriers to communication which can emerge in the context of information-based industry will be discussed. A further component of this paper will comprise of an approach to the id...

In a complex project environment, project teams face multi-dimensional communication problems that can ultimately lead to project breakdown. Team Performance varies in Face-to-Face (FTF) environment versus groups working remotely in a computermediated communication (CMC) environment. A brief review of the Input_Process_Output model suggested by James E. Driskell, Paul H. Radtke and Eduardo Sala...

It is commonly argued that asynchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) is preferable for promoting reflection and discussing complex ideas in e-learning environments. However, guidelines for when to use synchronous media are unavailable. In order to address this problem, we propose initial prescriptive guidelines for when to support synchronous communication, as a complement to asynchron...

This paper explores four published articles that report on results from research conducted on online (Internet) and offline (non-Internet) relationships and their relationship to computer-mediated communication (CMC). The articles, however, vary in their definitions and uses of CMC. Butler, and Kraut (2002) suggest that face-to-face (FtF) interactions are more effective than CMC, defined and us...

ABSRACT In today's modern world, computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) and computer mediated communication (CMC) are central and most crucial in the activities of organizations and in their success in achieving their goals and purposes. Organizations are established to achieve goals that one person cannot accomplish alone, and the knowledge that is collected by individuals should be reserv...

Recent technological advances have provided many youth with daily, almost continuous cell-phone and Internet connectivity through portable devices. Young people's experiences with computer-mediated communication (CMC) and their views about how this form of communication affects their health have not been fully explored in the scientific literature. A purposeful maximum variation sample of young...

Decades of IS literature focus on the relationships between the use of lean forms of online communication, and various task and outcome variables. This paper suggests the need to examine the underlying assumption which classifies text-based media as inferior and lacking in social, relational and affective richness relative to traditional forms of communication. We review the evidence for this f...
