　　　With modern communication technologies, we are now facing more possibilities to work together while being remote. But, if our work requires team members with CMC to achieve the same tasks as face-to face (FTF) environment, how could we do(表現難)?

　　　Informal organization is an important concept when we discuss how an organization works, which is pointed out by organizational scientists [1]. The most important function of informal organization is to provide an organization with ability to attain the goals of less-structured tasks, which is difficult to attain only with formal organization. Informal organization, however, seldom appears under computer mediated communication, because there hardly exist any chances to get to know each other personally and develop personal relationships outside the task achieving situation.
