Executive or Corporate Intranet
When building an information system for an executive, it is first necessary to define the nature of the executive's tasks. We can divide the roles of the manager into three categories.

1. Interpersonal Roles. Figurehead, leader, liaison
2. Informational Roles. Monitor, disseminator, spokesperson
3. Decisional Roles. Entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator, negotiator

Intranets are very effective in assisting the executive in addressing the roles and activities discussed above as well as addressing communication with internal employees and external partners.
