USER PSYCHOLOGICAL APPRAISAL OF ENTERPRISE WEB 2.0-DEPLOYMENT

Abstract

Effective exploitation of emerging Web-based social information and communication tools has become the new mandate in contemporary enterprise IT-strategy. However, current assessments and recommendations are generally biased in favouring normative considerations from a technical and business angle; and deficient in their emphasis of the implementation- over the adoption-perspective on technology deployment. The current paper propagates the enhancement of Enterprise Web 2.0-research, discourse, and practice by placing it into the focal point of a multi-disciplinary scientific approach comprising services, design, and, importantly, user science. User psychological insight serves as basis for contending essential human adoption barriers and arising dissonances between technical and human use-related promises of Web 2.0; both of which need to be recognized and productively dealt with in the organizational context of Enterprise Web 2.0.
