Shaping Organization Form: Communication, Connection, and Community

Bys: Desanctis, Gerardine and Fulk, Janet

Shaping Organization Form

considers the role of new communication technologies in shaping organizations today and in the future.

Four key themes are considered in depth: changes in technology, changes in organizational form, and their mutual influence on one another; evolutionary processes in organizations and the ways in which technology can influence these processes; the development of organizational communities and inter-organizational relationships that are mediated by electronic communication systems; and major controversies surrounding electronically mediated organizations and directions for future research that flow out of these controversies.
