, 2. IN GENERAL:
Organizational communication:
- “seeks to help people understand the central nature of communication in all aspects of
organizational functioning”
- “is the process of creating, exchanging, interpreting (correctly or incorrectly), and storing
messages within a system of human interrelationships
Again, the “New” in “New Media”
1. Historically “new”
- After a certain point in time
2. Conceptually “new”
- Communication practices and activities are substantively different
than the ones that existed earlier
A Useful Definition of New Media:
“information and communication technologies and their associated social contexts, incorporating:
– The artifacts or devices that enable and extend our abilities to communicate
– The communication activities or practices we engage in to develop and use these
devices; and
– The social arrangements or organizations that form around the devices and
practices.” (Lievrouw & Livingstone, 2002)
New Media In Relation to Organizations: Our ‘Definition’
- [Technical aspect] A set of interrelated components that collect (or retrieve), process, store,
and distribute information and knowledge…
- [Human/organizational aspect] … to support decision making and other organizational
processes.
► Relation between people (individuals, groups, organization) and artifact of primary concern!
► Research is concerned with the study of the effects of IS on the behavior of individuals,
groups, and organizations and vice versa
Our Focus & Terminology =
- Both ‘older’ and ‘newer’ new media: ‘traditional’ information systems and newer media:
Highly complex systems (e.g. enterprise wide systems) vs. less complex technologies such as
at the application level
- Terminology to be used interchangeably
– New media
– ICT
– IT
– Information systems (IS)
- Nieuwe benamingen voor hedendaagse media: dvanced/tailored/adaptive media
