Abstract

Those making decisions are no longer located in the same workplace. Wireless technology appears promising as a method to promote group performance in circumstances dependent on time, but not member proximity. However, the success of wireless technology in group decision-making situations has not yet been proven. This paper seeks to learn whether wireless technology affects the performance of group decision-making tasks that should be resolved urgently and/or sources of idea are disconnected with on-line network.
