This study examined the effects of unit size on utilization of information sources within a single large professional services firm. Unit sizes ranged from about 20 to over 400. Nine specific sources of information within three broad categories (interpersonal, official company publications, informal) were considered. Unit size influenced only interpersonal sources of information; employees in larger units received less information from interpersonal sources
