Zusammenfassung: | This article examines sensemaking about new media at work in organizational settings. Two models of sensemaking are presented. Recent social science and management research on computer-mediated work is reviewed to identify aspects of sensemaking evident in computer-mediated communications at work. The sensemaking models are used to interpret this recent research on human computer interactions and computer-mediated communications in organizations. The article shows how the sensemaking perspective facilitates an understanding of the interpretive practices and problems people face in using new media for communication at work. |
