Grounded in Adaptive Structuration Theory, which emerged and evolved as the research unfolded, the project studied the impact of technology characteristics (level of support, restrictiveness) and other support (training, heuristics, facilitation) on group processes and outcomes for a range of tasks (problem definition, decision making, planning). The project entailed a complex tapestry of a series of laboratory experiments and two major field studies. The basic theoretical framework, experimental strategy and design, field study design, and results are summarized, along with a discussion of the significance and implications of the project for contemporary theory and practice. This bibliography lists the publications and research reports of the project. <br/> <br/>Keywords: Group Decision Support Systems; Adaptive Structuration Theory; Collaboration Technology; Decision Support Systems; Group Decision Making; Group Communication Fri, 09 May 2008 22:58:59 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/2142/5349 Title: Detailed Narrative of Minnesota GDSS Project Results <br/> <br/>Authors: Poole, Marshall Scott; Zigurs, Ilze <br/> <br/>Abstract / Summary: The Minnesota GDSS Research Project is a twenty-year program of interdisciplinary research that has generated more than eighty articles, chapters, dissertations, and proceedings publications and has influenced other researchers who developed their own niches.

This report is a detailed summary of results of studies that are highlighted in DeSanctis, Poole, Zigurs et al. (2008) Journal of the Association of Information Systemts article. It gives details on the results summarized in the article and displayed in the Appendices to the article and should be considered a companion to this article. <br/> <br/>Keywords: Group Decision Support Systems; Group Support Systems; Adaptive Structuration Theory; Decision Support Systems; Collaboration Technology; Group Decision Making; Group Communication; Information Systems Wed, 07 May 2008 22:58:59 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/2142/232 Title: Building Process Theories <br/> <br/>Authors: Poole, Marshall Scott <br/> <br/>Abstract / Summary: This is a lecture on building process theories in communication and organizational research. Process theories are fundamentally different from traditional variance based theories and focus on explaining change, development, innovation and other phenomena that unfold over time. This talk is directed to the audience of organizational researchers, but the ideas can be adapted to many different contexts <br/> <br/>Keywords: Process; Theory; Organizational Research; Change; Innovation; Theory Construction Wed, 28 Jun 2006 22:58:59 GMT
