Abstract

Managers spend a majority of their days in face-to-face meetings so it is not surprising that meeting support is becoming an important focus of information technology. But meetings vary widely in size, duration, and location. Some are brief deskside meetings between two or three people, others are lengthy conference room meetings with a dozen or more participants. Thus, support needs may also vary by size, duration, and location. Surprisingly, past use-of-time studies have told us little about how meetings vary along these dimensions. We review the history of the early studies and present a new diary study to look at these dimensions and their relationships.
