| Summary: | At the intersection of economics and sociology or psychology, transaction is an imported notion from multiple streams of research. In the French-speaking world, sociology is working on it through the concept of social transaction. In Information and communication sciences, or more particularly in organizational communication, although it is an important notion in the conversation/text model from the now called Montreal School, the notion of transaction has experienced a small diffusion and use beside its vernacular definition. Yet a mutual enrichment both epistemologically and conceptually is possible between the different diciplines and research streams. Furthermore, conceptualizing transaction could be central to think performativity of organizational communication, be it in terms of power, cooperation or conflict.
