“…Users must also be authorized to access information for publishing in the early stages. This is in line with findings from the study by Banck and Nyström (2005) where purposes and goals to a high extent were unknown among the interviewees. Furthermore, technical standards and policies for data security must also be implemented from the early stages.…”

The Viable System Model, VSM, by Stafford Beer is a model used for diagnosing and designing organizational structure and communication to facilitate necessary and sufficient conditions for viability. The model has been used for diagnosing different kinds of organizations at different levels where its use highlights existing or missing communication patterns and information flows in different communication channels and relates findings to a viable system. In a previous article, VSM and Intranet have been discussed and examples of advantages of combining the two concepts when designing organizations, has been given. In this article, VSM is combined with Intranet and possible functions in an intranet that support information exchange between different systems are identified and described. The suggested functions identified in this article are finally related to Intranet use modes, and the concepts of Empowerment vs. control.

“…Team leaders should have the role of providing a setting for group socialization processes to occur. The findings of Kayworth and Leidner (2000) are comparable with those of Bank and Nyströ m (2004) concerning intranet use, as regards importance of management and formulation and spreading of goals.…”

“…The intranet makes the spreading and sharing of information, communication and knowledge management possible in new ways compared with traditional information systems. Despite the growing numbers of intranet implementations, there are also a lot of failures concerning implementation, development and acceptance (Bank and Nyströ m, 2004;Swan et al, 1999). Bank and Nyströ m (2004) investigate in a study different aspects that are assumed to influence the understanding and use of intranets.…”
