Abstract

As organizations expand the amount of information they expect us to publish on the World-Wide Web, the work-world of technical communicators grows more complicated. Because so many of us are caught up in transforming legacy documents for use on company intranets or extranets, I use the Web as an example of the complexity we face. I borrow some ideas from the work of several complexity theorists to give an intellectual model for grappling with the changes that are taking place around us.

使用复杂性理论来理解技术交流发生了什么
随着组织希望我们在万维网上发布的信息量的增加,技术交流人员的工作世界变得更加复杂。由于我们中的许多人都在转换遗留文档以用于公司内部网或外联网,因此我以Web为例来说明我们所面临的复杂性。我从几位复杂性理论家的作品中借鉴了一些想法,为应对我们周围正在发生的变化提供了一个智力模型。
