Utilization of video conferencing

Stressing the importance of accumulating systematic empirical information on the users and uses of video teleconferencing, the authors present the findings of a pilot study of AT&T's Picturephone Meeting Service. They then set out preliminary conclusions that may be drawn from those findings. The authors suggest that video telecommunication is likely to be beneficial to decision making processes in modern organizations.
