Description
Summary:This article discusses the influence of intra-group processes on the development of information systems. Two alternative models of the Trinity Concept were compared in terms of the influence of communication patterns and group working procedures on productivity and intra-group relations. The first model has been characterized by individual work and circular communication, and the second by collaborative group work and multi-directional communication. Predictions are been made in favour of the latter over the former.
