Abstract

This article provides a brief review of one e-collaboration technology-task fit theory, and argues that it focuses (like most technology-task fit theories) on what can be accomplished through tasks, as opposed to what cannot—that is, the tasks’ constraints. The article also argues that task constraints are important explanatory and predictive elements, illustrating that point through an example of a car racing team that employs text-based instant messaging for communication between pilots and support team during races.
