The aim was further to address the role of informal communication, the impact of information and communication technologies, and the effect that various structural and environmental changes that have occurred over the last decades, have had on the communication process. The methodological approach of the study was based on a conceptual analysis of the literature integrated with an empirical investigation into the communication of information amongst a group of scientists in South Africa. 2014-12-30T19:38:43Z 2014-12-30T19:38:43Z 2006 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10583 eng application/pdf Library and Information Studies Centre (LISC) University of Cape Town |
