Intranet - a tool for power and control or a possibility to increase the quality of work

In this paper we briefly present research related to Intranets in order to define topics of interest. The presented research mainly focuses on: intranet implementation, initiative, stakeholders, roles, and other organizational questions. We also present an umbrella project – VICQ (Viable Intranet for Creativity and Quality), related to the research in progress. This umbrella project intends to focus on questions concerning the use of intranets, philosophy of mangers, philosophy of technology, aspects of design. Some future part projects are identified and described as well as a planned pilot study. In the pilot study we will investigate a number of intranets. The result will be an analysis and a description of three different groups (managers, IS-services, users) view of their intranet. We shall use this analyze to specify questions for further work.
