INTRANET DO NOT NORMALLY PROVOKE LEARNING AND
INSPIRATION

INTRODUCTION
Intranet is a computer network which utilizes Internet Protocol technology to transfer and
exchange files within corporation. It also provides effective security during the file transmission
(Dumitrescu, 2013). The present file explains the feature of Intranet in the firm. Further, it
introduces some theories like I- space, Double-loop learning and Dreyfus model to install and
suggest Intranet in the organization. In addition, it also represents the challenges and
recommendation of Intranet to solve problem in the corporation. It defines business intelligence
which are used for Human resource functions in the firm. Further, it reveals various aspects like
sales area and find out location of consumers for Taxi Company in the nation.
Features of Intranet
There are many features of Intranet which provides huge help the firm to manage the
technical and managerial operations in the nation. These thing can aid the enterprise to build
effective Intranet in the premises (Jones and Sallis, 2013). Intranet also contribute effective role to
analyse information very fast in the internal network. It also reduces searching time of files with
help of proper management of information in the server. This tool also provides content and ranking
facility to mark the important content which are beneficial information for the firm by installing this
facility. This tool also helps the organization to improve its efficiency in the working style. Intranet
plays most important role to share files between users with proper security in the firm (Eisenhauer,
2014). It also offer various opportunities to upload various types of data in the server which are
important for corporation to handle its technical and managerial operations. Intranet software allows
for the appropriate management which can be managed by staff members and managers in the
enterprise. This approach also help the organization to make smart decisions by installing this
service. Intranet also provide huge reliability to know about the employees. Generally, it stores
employee’s profiles in the server which can be assessed easily by managers in the organization. This
tools also render mobility facility in the corporation. This thing contribute effective role to connect
the Laptops and mobiles from the Intranet of company. This way, enterprise can get many
advantages to manage operations of firm by installing the Intranet (Walters and et.al., 2016).
Organization can also install Intranet software with help of following theories like Double-
loop learning, Dreyfus and I- space model. These things can give reliability to build this type of
environment in the firm.
Dreyfus Model
This model can also help the firm to implement features of Intranet in a appropriate manner.
This approach is divided in five parts like, novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient as well

as expert. These steps contribute effective role to reduce problems like waiting time of employees
and return mail in the organization. In addition, company can easily enable of all feature of Intranet.
These things aid the firm to improve the efficiency in the market. IT consultant can use Dreyfus
model to reduce these errors which are occurred in organizational premises (Boss, 2015). There is
also reason to use this model in this organization. Mainly it gives effective progress for
development of better abilities to install this Intranet software. It also aids the firm to reach desired
level of competence in the nation.
(Source: Crawford, 2013)
To implement this activity, Expert follows the rules and regulations which is necessary to
install Intranet in the organization perfectly. These thing also aids management of company to
install feature of this software. Generally, IT managers has no idea to execute this activities. Hence,
IT consultant follows these step to build effective Intranet. This process come under novice part.
Then after, company uses advanced beginner step in its premises (Crawford, 2013). IT expert gives
equal importance for all type of work which are necessary to build Intranet as per its features in the
organization. In next competent step, IT manager formulates its planning to install this Intranet in
firm. Person makes its routines to get its goals in the organization. After this step, company uses
proficient step to install the Intranet. IT consultant gets so much information to build Intranet
environment in the enterprise. As per its features, IT manager prioritize its tasks to solve waiting
time of employees and mail returns in the organization. Person also provides effective guidance to
other employees to perform their job in the corporation in order to install the this tool (Barnes,
Illustration 1: Dreyfus Model

2013). This process also contribute appropriate role to achieve feature of Intranet in the company.
Effective characteristics also help the firm to solve problem and complexities of software.
Generally, this way, Dreyfus model can aid the organization to build effective environment of
Intranet.
Challenges Faced by Organization
These type of Intranet challenges are faced many companies in the world. For example, IBM
faced this type of issues in its organization. Staff members of firm are unable to assess the server
due to heavy data load. This thing was increasing delay time of employees during working time in
the corporation. Sometimes, employees were also facing mail return problem. So this way, they
were unable to send this type of mails in the IBM (Riddell, 2013). Then after, organization took
help of CISCO to implement proper Intranet in the organizational premises. This firm uses Dreyfus
model to reduce these issues in order to improve the efficiency of this software in the IBM. On the
other side, this approach also has limitations which were faced by CISCO during implementation.
This tool also suggests alternative theory of intuition in the organization. Analytical thinking does
not contribute any kind of role in this model. It is also longer process to solve this type of Intranet
problems in the firm.
Double Loop Leaning
This method can also be utilized by organization to solve this type of issues. Double loop
leaning is also important concept to changes the values and assumption in the organization. It
concentrates towards to solve complex and ill-structured issues in the corporation (Woldab, 2014).
This method is also problem solving method for the firm. Generally this theory is given by Argyris
and schon. This approach also monitors alteration in values, behaviour as well as leadership of
employees which help the organization to install Intranet properly. This process is also called action
theory. It also emphasize on the actual human work to enable its all features in the corporation. In
addition, it aids the firm to reduce problem of mail return and access waiting time of employees due
to heavy data loading. Double-loop leaning theory also helps the enterprise by analysing whole
situation (Kist, 2015). It also provides perfect solution to solve this type of issues in the company.
This theory is applied to develop better management of technical and managerial operations by
improving efficiency of this software in the organization.
This model is categorised in four sections. These parts are discovery of espoused and theory-
in-use, invention of new meanings, production of new actions as well as generalization of results.
These steps contribute effective role to install Intranet in appropriate manner by applying its all
features in the corporation. In the first step, IT consultant search all endorsing factors with the help
of collection of information which support the firm to install Intranet to reduce the problems (Hoerr,

2013). In the second step, IT expert makes planning to build Intranet environment with aid of new
practices in the firm. This process also help the company to enable all features of this software.
Then after, IT manager follows these new actions which are innovated in the firm. This way,
enterprise install Intranet software in the organization in order to improve its effectiveness. IT
expert also evaluate the result and check performance level of Intranet. Person measures targeted
problem in order to reduce the issues of employees waiting time and mail return in the corporation
(Bingham and Conner, 2015).
Challenges Suffered by Organization
There are many challenges of Intranet that are suffered by corporation. For example, HP
were also facing many complexities like mail return and increased waiting time of response
regarding this software. As result, operations of organization were delaying due to this reasons.
These thing were affecting the business and profit of corporation in the nation. To overcome from
this problems, organization is using the Double loop learning to install appropriate Intranet features
in the HP. This process also helps the firm to reduce its problem. It contribute effective role to
enable all characteristics of Intranet in the organization. According to Crawford (2013), this
methods also takes so much assumptions which creates problem for implementation of real time
application in the enterprise. It also increases the execution time of this process in the firm
(Crawford, 2013). In addition, it also takes lot of time to resolve out this type of complexities in the
organization.
There are many models which can be used by organization to resolve out this type of
problems. Firm can also use I-space and N learning method for same issues regarding its solving
purpose. These approaches are problem solving methods for corporations. To execute I- space
theory, organization has to make effective strategy to install the Intranet. This process also aids the
company to decrease the overall complexities regarding this software. Firm has to perform strong
research and development skill to prepare effective plan for building appropriate environment of
Intranet (Barnes, 2013). Enterprise has to follow bureaucracy method to implement this activities
with help of employees in the nation. This way, organization gets huge help to perform its technical
and managerial operations. This method also aids the company to increase its sales in the nation.
Recommendations
There are many recommendations which can improve flexibility Intranet in the organization.
To improve limitation of Dreyfus model, organization also should use different theories for
analytical thinking. This process can also help the firm to improve efficiency of software. This way,
organization will not face any issue regarding analytical thinking (Walters and et.al., 2016). IT
expert should make perfect time schedule to reduce execution time frame of this process by

applying prioritizing and allocate time of each activities in the organization.
To overcome from limitation of double-loop learning, IT manager should analyse perfect
situation by measuring all complexities with help of collected information in the corporation. This
process can help firm to take perfect decision to solve this type of problem. This way, IT expert can
enable the all feature of Intranet with help of this process in the enterprise (Boss, 2015). Company
can feel huge reliability to take any kind of assumption to improve effectiveness of this software.
Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence (BI) is a wide classification of computer software solutions. It also
provides various opportunities to the corporation for managing critical operations with help of
reporting applications as well as analysis tools.
There are many tools like data warehousing, data mining and Spreadsheets of business
intelligence which can help firm to improve its performance in the market. For example, TESCO
also uses these kind of tools to increase sales of its retail products in the United Kingdom (Hennel,
2015). These approach also helps firm to identify the big fish. With help of this tool, organization
can earn more earn profit by selling more retail products to consumers in the nation. Further,
Business intelligence tools also contribute effective role for firm to increase accuracy in forecasting
by collecting and showing effective data to management. This thing also aids corporation to make
effective strategies to sell more retail products in the market of United Kingdom. It also helps the
TESCO to measure effect of marketing program by analysing impact of promotional activities in
the nation.
CONCLUSION
From the report, it is found that features of Intranet reduces workload which help the
organization to handle all type of operations. Further, Dreyfus and double-loop learning also aids
the firm to decrease its problems by following its steps. In addition, recommendations of both
models also contribute effective role to improve the limitation of these approaches in the
organization. It can be concluded the business-intelligence tools like spreadsheets, data mining as
well as data warehousing helps the TESCO retail organization to increase its sales in retail market
of United Kingdom.
