Emerging Theories of Communication in Organizations
Janet Fulk

This article reviews recent theoretical developments in four areas of organizational communication that have a common concern with information processing: communication media choice, computer-supported group decision making, communication technology and organizational design, and communication networks. For each topic the article includes a review of current theory, an assessment of the empirical evidence to date, and proposals for further theoretical and empirical development. The wealth of scholarship in these areas in the last 5 years testifies well to the substantial contribution of information processingrelated theories to a new core of organizational communication theory.
