Intranets for Info Pros

摘要

Organizations have been developing intranets since the mid nineties. However the recent Global Intranet Analysis Report (McConnell, 2007) reports that intranets are far from fulfilling their full potential and few are being managed as a strategic asset. Kennedy, in her introduction to this volume, states that "many intranets are little more than communication vehicles or information repositories. Their potential for enabling the successful achievement of organizational objectives remains largely untapped". With the majority of organizations today being dependent on information, this book focuses on what information professionals can do, within the context of an intranet, to add value to their organization.
