Conway's law. Conway's law describes the link between communication structure of organizations and the systems they design. It is named after the computer programmer Melvin Conway, who introduced the idea in 1967. [ 1] His original wording was: [ 2][ 3] [O]rganizations which design systems (in the broad sense used here) are constrained to ...
The communicative constitution of organizations (CCO) perspective is broadly characterized by the claim that communication is not something that happens within organizations or between organizational members; instead, communication is the process whereby organizations are constituted.

The Open Systems Interconnection ( OSI) model is a reference model from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that "provides a common basis for the coordination of standards development for the purpose of systems interconnection." [ 2] In the OSI reference model, the communications between systems are split into seven ...

It was first published by David Berlo in his 1960 book The Process of Communication. It contains a detailed discussion of the four main ...

[ 14] Communication is a central function of organizations, as the success of an organization is reliant on individuals coming together for the benefit of organizational success. [ 14]

For example, models of mass communication are specialized models that do not aim to give a universal account of communication. [21] Another contrast is between linear and non-linear models.
Barnlund's model is based on a set of fundamental assumptions holding that communication is dynamic, continuous, circular, irreversible, complex, and unrepeatable. Cues are of central importance in Barnlund's model. A cue is anything to which one may attribute meaning or which can trigger a response. Barnlund distinguishes between public ...
