It serves as a forum for stimulating and disseminating research into the implications of these technologies for organizational structure and dynamics, the technological advances needed to keep pace with organizational changes, and emerging technological possibilities for improving organizational productivity. The journal's focus is not on computing as it relates to individuals. Theoretical, experimental, and survey research are all appropriate to the Journal of Organizational Computing. The journal's major editorial areas are computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), groupware, computer modeling of organizations, investigations of organizational systems issues such as computer-aided coordination and organizational learning, economics of organizational computing, and behavioral studies of organizational computing. The refereeing of papers in each of these areas is directed by an Associate Editor. The journal also publishes relevant book reviews, meeting announcements, and brief notes. Editorial comments and invited papers on organizational computing occasionally appear as warranted by recent developments. A special issue based on a conference entitled "Organizational Computing, Coordination, and Collaboration," held at IC2 Institute at the University of Texas will launch the journal in 1991.
