ABSTRACT: The
development of emerging information systems is crucial in two directions. First, these systems
increase the accessibility of information to be used by the enterprise social
systems. The improvement in the accessibility of the information has a direct repercussion in the reduction
of economic costs in the business
firms. Second, emerging information systems are a touchstone in the organisation of the new enterprises, because the
new models of organisation require
the enhancement of information and communication technologies. In this way, emerging information systems influence the
structure and dynamics of enterprise social systems, making it possible
to achieve goals never before imagined. This paper analyzes a new enterprise
social system developed by the Spanish newspaper La Voz de Galicia,
called “iVoz”. It is analyzed 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.
