- 1 Universidade da Coruna, A Coruna, Spain
Abstract
The development of emerging information systems is crucial in two directi ons. First, these systems increase the accessibility of information to be used by the enterprise social systems. The improvement in the accessibility of the infor mation has a direct repercussion in the reduction of economic costs in the bu si ness firms . Second, emerging information systems are a touchstone in the organisation of the new enterprises, because the new models of organisation re quire the enhancement of information and communication technologies. In th is way, emerging information systems influence the structure and dynamics of e nterprise social systems, making it possible to achieve goals never before im a gined. This paper analyzes a new enterprise social system developed by the Spa nish newspaper La Voz de Galicia, called “ iVoz ” . It is analyze d here to what extent it has contributed to introduce a change in the organization, which has repercussion in three aspects: 1) the model of media company; 2) the structure and dynamics of the daily work of journalists; and 3) the ways in which citizens can access and use information.
