Organisational Memory as a Function

The Construction of Past, Present and Future in Organisations

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about the past as well as the future in organisations in general and about an organisation's temporal contextualisation in particular. The author analyses, how organisations are able to construct a present with respect to their past and future. The study is based on an empirical case study, in which an R&D department has been followed for a six month-period in order to analyse how an organisation orients itself with respect to its past, present and future from the perspective of communication-centred social systems theory.
