Katja Schönian delves into the intricate realm of internal communication and branding strategies in the context of implementing a new company intranet. Through a qualitative data-driven approach, she explores the contrasting perspectives between managerial expectations and the everyday usage of the intranet across diverse work settings. Drawing upon social practice theories and research in Science & Technology Studies, Schönian unravels the diverse logics that the intranet brings together, while also critically interrogating the factors that determine its (un)workability. This insightful book sheds light on the informal practices and politics surrounding the technology implementation process, offering readers a fresh perspective on the dynamics of merger integration and the growing digitalization of contemporary knowledge work.
