Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the paper is to show how the corporate or organizational intranet can be used to enhance team building within organizations.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper describes how the corporate intranet can be used for something more than an electronic library. Groups can act in a coordinated way if there is a continuous flow of information about where they are at and whether or not they are smeeting expectations; this can be accomplished using the intranet.

Finding

The paper shows how to improve the management of people within an organization using the intranet. It describes several practical applications of this technology.

Originality/value

The corporate intranet has never been used as a management tool. It can be used to test comprehension of organizational objectives and expectations. It can help members gain a clearer picture of what is really going on and what each needs to do to change directions.
