47. While this scares companies witless, they also depend heavily on open intranets to generate and share critical knowledge. They need to resist the urge to "improve" or control these networked conversations.

 

 

The intranet that the corporations are using within their walls is a great asset for them to have. It is an advantage to them because it gives them the ability to have control over the whole corporation. They can manage everything inside their walls and manipulate it for their wants and needs. As told in the movie ‘Spiderman’, “great powers comes with great responsibilities”, this quotation applies also to the corporations which uses the intranet. Yes they can control everything but with this control, many people might rebel from the grips of the corporation and become a threat to the whole community of the corporation. They might give up and break down from the power that the superiors possess. The superiors might be taken in by the power that they become power hungry and just manipulate and treat their employees as machines or robots that are meant to do work for them.

Having this idea of loss of control with the employees is something that the corporations are avoiding to do. They are scared with the employees leaking out vital information to the outside becoming a great threat to the life of the corporation. The employees might spill out some privately guarded knowledge or leak out system information that the corporations uses to achieve its vital functions to others that might take advantage to the find.

The corporations should do something now because they will need the intranet whatever might happen. Intranets are the channel for them to share critical knowledge and essential information to others within the corporation. The information is the blood of the corporation and the veins that is runs through is the intranet. That is how important it is to the corporation.
