Abstract:
In the present study, work is undertaken to find out how different communication networks affect the way in which a solution to a problem is derived by a small group, and also how these different communication patterns affect the behaviour of the members of the group. After some conclusions are drawn with regard to the small groups, certain generalizations are made, in order to see, how the results obtained from this study are applicable to large scale organizations. The use of this study, resides in that the results obtained can be used to improve the communications within organizations, so that their operations become more efficient.
