JUST A MACHINE FOR DOING BUSINESS? - KATJA SCHÖ...

How is a new intranet involved in an ongoing merger integration process? Katja Schönian
analyses internal communication and branding strategies in connection with the implementation
of a new company intranet. Based on qualitative data  the study contrasts managerial
expectations and everyday usage of the intranet in distinct work settings. Relying on social
practice theories and research in Science & Technology Studies  Katja Schönian unpacks the
different logics the intranet brings together and  furthermore  interrogates the
characteristics that make an (un)workable technology. The book sheds light on the informal
practices and politics surrounding the technology implementation process. It provides readers
with new insights into the dynamics of a merger integration process  the production of worker
subjectivity  and the increasing involvement of technologies in contemporary knowledge work.
