We investigated whether 4-, 5-, and 6-year-olds' developing organizational processing and executive function contributed to the isolation e...

An approach to develop Organizational Memory Systems is presented. It is based on the re-use of computer-supported discussions held as meeting preparations. The discussions are rich in informal knowledge, which is basic for a good Organizational Memory. The presentation is illustrated with a brief introduction to OMUSISCO, a software system based on the approach. OMUSISCO uses SISCO meeting pre...

We introduce a framework for a new idea tool Note, which gathers, fosters and manages innovative ideas. Note supports the development of organizational memory and is connected to the practices of organizational innovativeness. The tool utilizes text mining methods in idea processing, management and visualization and is thus a new approach in idea management software. The tool is under development.
