ABSTRACT

Increasing attention has been devoted to the ‘new wave’ of information and communication technologies as they have become increasingly widespread in work and non-work organizations. One example is intranets, which may be viewed as the intra-organizational equivalent of the internet. Intranets represent a form of simultaneous technological and organizational change and engender a number of important questions with respect to the changing nature and experience of work in the early years of the twenty-first century, not least as to how these developments might be theorized.
