Abstract
With Intranets as communication channels inhabited by an ensemble of agents, we present a concept to envision, model and implement communication channels for organizations. The approach is based on the media concept and the media reference model. We study how to reconstruct organization, in particular bureaucracy, on an Intranet by employing agents. Moreover, we discuss how the use of a medium can transform existing organizational structures while improving the value and knowledge creation processes within the organization. The approach originated from a project developing concepts for the implementation of an Intranet for a major Swiss bank.
