From the author: Given the differing roles and responsibilities of various management levels, this study investigated the effect of the hierarchical level of both the sender and the receiver of information on the following communication processes: the sources used, and the dissemination and summarization of information. A study of 118 managers revealed that the hierarchical level of the sender affected the sources of information used while differences in dissemination and summarization varied more with the level of the receiver. Some differences in these relationships were found between large and mid-size firms. The implications of the results for managers at different hierarchical levels in both mid-size and large firms are discussed.
