This thesis presents novel, comprehensive and meaningful insights on the impact of Enterprise Social Networks (ESN) on organizations. Based on a mixed method research approach, we create conceptual clarity, identify and explain archetypes of ESN users, quantify the value contribution of ESN use, investigate impacts of social communication on executives and craft a change management curriculum. We contribute to the theory of adoption, diffusion and value contribution of ESNs. For practice, we provide foundations, guidelines and instruments of ESN governance.
