We began the Organizational Memory (OM) mini-track at HICSS-27. The purpose was to “provide a forum for information systems and other related researchers and practitioners to share ideas and theories about organizational memory and organizational memory systems.” This forum proved highly successful generating more than 30 papers over a 5-year period, including some that were later revised and p...

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems not only have a broad functional scope promising to support many different business processes. They also embed many different aspects of the company’s organizational memory. Disparities can exist between those memory contents in the ERP system and related contents in other memory media, such as the individuals’ memories, and the organizational structur...

It has been suggested that memory impairments found in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are mediated by organizational problems in encoding that are caused by primary executive dysfunction. Performance on different nonverbal memory and executive skills was tested in 68 subjects (35 non-depressed OCD sufferers and 33 healthy controls). Multiple regression models were performed to analyze the ...

Capturing, encoding, storing and retrieving relevant historical knowledge and data for use in decision situations is a difficult problem [e.g., 2, 17]. This project contributes to the understanding of organizational memory information systems through the development of a conceptual model for a task-oriented organizational memory system. In particular, this study builds on the notion of addressi...

Many Organizational Memory (OM) models and definitions can be found in the literature. Most models are complex or too general to directly build a computer system to manage them, i.e., to capture significant information, organize it and make it available to people who needs it. This paper presents a review of some OM models as well as some systems intended to manage part of the information store...

It is generally recognized that Walsh and Ungson (1991) “provided the first integrative framework for thinking about organizational memory” (Olivera, 2000, p. 813). Within the field of knowledge management (KM), there has been interest in a variety of issues surrounding organizational memory (OM), which is understood to involve processes of storage and retrieval of organizational knowledge of t...

The value of a piece of information in an organization is related to its retrieval (or requested) frequency. Therefore, collecting the answers to the frequently asked questions (FAQs) and constructing a good retrieval mechanism is a useful way to maintain organizational memory (OM). Since natural language is the easiest way for people to communicate, we have designed a natural language dialogue...

The paper’s purposes IS to evaluate the need for organizational memory information system (OMIS) in Faculty of Computer Science and Information System to improve academic management. Approach adopted in this research is to implement OMIS characteristics. After examining few models of organizational memory in literature review, OMIS characteristics is identified for implementation and success fa...

With this research, in the form of a theoretical essay addressing the theme of Organizational Memory and Integrated Management Systems (ERP), we tried to present some evidence of how this type of system can contribute to the consolidation of certain features of Organizational Memory. From a theoretical review of the concepts of Human Memory, extending to the Organizational Memory and Informatio...
