Collaboration and Cooperation
Despite the absence of an established definition, collaboration and cooperation are widely studied across several disciplines, beginning in the mid‐ to late 20th century and accelerating through to the present. After presenting the scholarly history of the terms, this entry organizes the existing research into three frames, considering collaboration and cooperation first as an ability or aptitude, then as characteristics of small‐group interactio…
The Mash-Up
In 2007, Gartner, Inc. identified mash-ups as one of the top 10 strategic technologies for 2008 (http://www.gartner.com/it/page
Technological Grounding
In technologically grounded organizations, culture is bound tightly to the material characteristics of the technology that the organization manufactures, distributes, or services. Technological grounding helps explain why high-technology organizations often experience cultural integration problems following a merger. Examining the recent merger of US West and Qwest, this article analyzes how powerful actors strategically used the process of techn…
Relating Online
The theory of dialectical contradictions (L. A. Baxter & B. M. Montgomery, 1996) is used to examine relationships developed in a Chinese online role-playing game, Legend of Mir. Analysis of discourse on a Web-based Legend-theme bulletin board system and a series of online articles identified oppositional tensions in discussion about relationships. Seven contradictions representing three basic thematic families—integration—separation, expression—n…
Exploring Gender, Feminism and Technology from a Communication Perspective
Across disciplines, studies of technology offer fertile ground for understanding women's experience and for engaging the world through feminist critique. Women's studies research, in turn, contributes distinctly to understanding issues central to living in an increasingly technological world. The goal of this special issue is to emphasize the contribution of communication research in exploring the relationship between gender, feminism, and techno…

Assessing the Structure of Communication on the World Wide Web
This paper examines closely the nature of the hypertext link as a communication tool for Web designers and authors. The strategic nature of the link raises important questions for the representation and interpretation of Web structure. Network analysis is suggested as a methodology that can be used by researchers investigating the World Wide Web from a communication perspective
Idea-Generation in Naturally Occurring Contexts
This study examined naturally occurring idea-generation in organizational groups completing an extended problem-solving task. Meetings held by 11 groups engaged in a quality improvement process in a governmental agency were analyzed to identify 37 idea-generation episodes. All groups had available a group decision support system (GDSS), although some opted not to use it. Across all groups, idea productivity was low though fairly efficient, but GD…
Idea-Generation in Naturally Occurring Contexts
Technology and Context Within Research on International Development Programs
We focus on development efforts that use information and communication technologies for educational purposes in developing nations. The oppositional nature of the approaches to development makes constructive dialogue among theoretical perspectives difficult. Using Jackson's (1996) metatheoretical classification scheme, we sort development research based on 4 possible logical relationships between technology as an artifact and the social context. …
Enhancing Discourse on New Technology Within Higher Education
Universities face challenges in creating and nurturing reflective discourse about ICTs within higher education. Constraints to this discourse include time-space compression caused by ICTs, and changing perceptions of the university's role in an information society. In answering these challenges, a call is made for elevating the role of higher education in public knowledge formation. Such a move reduces the constraints of time pressures by valuing…
Politics and Media Richness in World Wide Web Representations of the Former Yugoslavia

The Meaning of “Communication Technology”
This chapter examines communication technology as a construct for theory building in communication. The simple identification of technology as the material artifact is rejected in favor of a two-dimensional framework centering on the relationship between technology and context. The implications of this framework are discussed for both current and future theory building. Special attention is given to implications for more recent constructionist th…
