Article 2

Rowlinson, M., Booth, C., Clark, P., Delahaye, A., & Procter, S. (2010). Social remembering and organizational memory. Organization Studies, 31, 69–87.

Abstract:

  • Organizational Memory Studies (OMS) is limited by its managerialist, presentist preoccupation with the utility of memory for knowledge management.
  • The dominant model of memory in OMS is that of a storage bin. Taking a social constructionist, collectivist approach to social remembering in organizations allows connections to be made between memory and other research programs, such as organizational culture studies.
