Abstract
THIS communication is concerned with structural or organizational variables which may affect the transmission of information. It deals with a study which was made of variations in the communication patterns of four light engineering factories carrying out the same work. The communication structures in these factories were considered from the point of view of the individuals whose work required them to make decisions or estimates from production information available to them.
