Several contemporary sociological theorists have focused upon the inadequacies of Weber's model of bureaucracy and have suggested that greater attention be paid to the role of horizontal communication in formal organizations. This is an era when the collegial collaboration of experts is being merged with the classical burearcratic hierarchical structure. More needs to be known about collegial functioning especially, since it contradicts burearcratic premises of hierarchical control and limited autonomy. In this paper the relationship of social cohesion to one form of horizontal communication,collegial consultation, is examined.
