1. Organizational Memory: Issues in Design & Implementation Sree Nilakanta May 1, 2000

2. Organizational Memory Stored information from an organization’s history that can be brought to bear on present decisions. The information is stored as a consequence of implementing decisions to which they refer, by individual recollections, and through shared interpretations. –Walsh and Ungson (1991), AMR, vol. 16.

3. Assumptions of OM Organizations functionally resemble Information Processing Systems Organizations are Interpretative Systems Organizations have distinct Ontological Systems

4. Imperatives for OM Retention Structure (Locus of OM) –Individuals, Culture, Transformations, Structures, Ecology Processing Architecture –Acquisition, Retention, Retrieval Impact on Organizational Outcomes & Performance –Use, Misuse, Abuse

5. OM Research Suggestions Phase I –Assess structure of OM Phase II –Parse the Process Phase III –Assess Consequences
