| Tiivistelmä: | Media richness theory has been an influential deterministic theory of communication media adoption and use since its development in the mid-1980s. However, there has been mounting evidence, particularly in the 1990s, that predictions based on the media richness theory do not always hold. The author provides evidence that non-controlled groups can voluntarily adopt a communication medium that they perceive as lean. Due to the perception of the limitations imposed by the medium, group members can adapt their behaviour in order to overcome such limitations. |
