Modelling Offices Through Discourse Analysis: The SAMPO Approach

Successful office communication are vital for the effective working of organisation. There is, however, no agreement about how they should be studied or understood in analysing offices in office information system design. Instead, the majority of proposed methods for office information system design leave these aspects implicit and largely unexplored. In this paper, we propose framing office communication in terms of speech acts and conversations
