| Research Abstract |
A communication context 4 type model is developed from E.T.Hall's high and low context 2 type model by reflecting their forming process whether there exsists managerial intension or not. The model consists of socially formed high and low context types (HS & LS) and managerially formed high and low context types (HM & LM), each of which has different communicational and organizational characteristics.
By applying this model, about 400 business organizations of Japanese companies were researched, and the followings are cleared.
First, recent contextual characteristics of Japanese business organizations changed from simple high context to HM and LM mixture, and it is supposed to show the recent efforts of Japanese companies to innovate their organization system aiming to recover from the confronting depression, but their efforts for innovation still be in transition.
Second, this change can be seen more obviously in bigger companies than in smaller companies, but the gap within hierarches can scarecely be recognized.
Third, adaptability between context types and some particular types of industries or jobs are recognized, and it is also found that these adaptable relations are contingent to the organizational strategy and the needed commwnicational function revel. By applying these relations, context type might be applied as a new useful managerial strategic factor to improve business management.
