Abstract
This chapter explores 10 years of development in online leadership by asking, How may information and
communications technology (ICT) increase the economic, cultural, or social capital of online leaders
in a global information-technology company classified as big business? Drawing on practice theory,
this chapter is aimed at investigating online leaders’ approach to their role seen “from inside,” particularly
in regards to three types of capital (social, cultural, and economic capital). This qualitative case
study employs the methods of memory work and document analysis covering the development of ICT by
Oracle, a global IT company from 2002 to 2012. The analysis provides insights into four themes: first,
establishment of common ground for cooperation; second, working practices; third, critical competencies;
and fourth, stock valuation trends. The findings indicate that ICT supports the enhancement of all
three types of capital.
