It acts as a digital library where employees can access company policies, manuals, forms and other relevant resources. Communication here usually takes place in the top-down structure, in which information is passed on from the management level to the employees. Interaction and co-determination of the workforce are often only possible to a limited extent in a classic intranet.<\/p><p>A social intranet, on the other hand, <strong>focuses on interaction and collaboration<\/strong> among employees. It enables bottom-up and side-to-side communication in the form of chats, groups or forums and offers digital collaboration features such as joint document editing and project management. Employees can thus actively exchange ideas, share them, participate in discussions and work together on projects.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The key difference between a traditional intranet and a social intranet lies in the type of communication and collaboration. While a traditional intranet tends to be static and geared towards one-way information processing, a social intranet focuses on the active participation of employees and the development of a dynamic community. <\/p><p>Ein weiterer Unterschied besteht darin, dass ein klassisches Intranet in der Regel von IT-Mitarbeiter:innen verwaltet wird, w\u00e4hrend ein Social Intranet von der ganzen Belegschaft im Unternehmen genutzt und mit Inhalten bef\u00fcllt werden kann.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64df2e4 eael-table-align-left eael-dt-th-align-mobile-left eael-dt-th-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-data-table\" data-id=\"64df2e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-data-table.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-data-table-wrap\" data-table_id=\"64df2e4\" id=\"eael-data-table-wrapper-64df2e4\" data-custom_responsive=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<table class=\"tablesorter eael-data-table left\" id=\"eael-data-table-64df2e4\">\n\t\t\t    <thead>\n\t\t\t        <tr class=\"table-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            <th class=\" sorting\" id=\"\" colspan=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"data-table-header-text\">Classic intranet<\/span><\/th>\n\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t            <th class=\" sorting\" id=\"\" colspan=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"data-table-header-text\">Social Intranet<\/span><\/th>\n\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t        <\/tr>\n\t\t\t    <\/thead>\n\t\t\t  \t<tbody>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td colspan=\"\" rowspan=\"\" class=\"\" id=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"td-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"td-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFocus on information distribution &amp;
