摘要：The paper is concerned with problems of research methodology in organization studies. It places the main emphasis on the ''research design,'' which is seen as an important tool for the planning, the substantiation and the practical guidance of research procedures.

ICMC can be expected to evolve into the mainstream of existing communications infrastructure, but this evolution is not occurring uniformly across organizations. ICMC infrastructure appears to be most strongly supported, at least in this early stage, among organizations dependent on the maintenance of external weak social ties among employees who are member...

摘要：Organizational research in Europe and the United States differs in style and substance. Viewed comparatively, important inter-continental differences persist in theory, method, and problem. However, viewed longitudinally, convergence of the two traditions over the last decade is striking. Forces for the historic separation and contemporary convergence of European and United States organizational theory derive from changing institutional patterns affecting the social location, training, mobilit...

We consider the major factors motivating dramatic change within and between organizations today, and describe key dimensions of intraorganizational and interorganizational forms that are linked to electronic communication technologies: vertical control, horizontal coordination, size of organization and constituent units, new types of cou...
