Introduction
In the light of the arguments put forward in some of the studies by Anthony Judge in this bibliography it would be inconsistent to present the bibliography as a simple list. Inspired therefore by cybernetician Stafford Beer's approach to this problem in his recent book (The Heart of Enterprise. Wiley, 1980). the items in the bibliography are ordered in terms of the concentric circles and sectors of the diagram below.
More recent studies tend to be located towards the centre, reflecting the evolution from the earlier interests. Within each category (e.g. G.2 Graphics/Meetings), items are ordered strictly In terms of date of publication.
This approach is strongly related to that envisaged in the Hows wall-display technique (see G.2) and will be developed into the tensegrity forms envisaged in the metaconferencing paper (see E.2).
