A Concept of Corporate Memory

Abstract

This report describes a concept of 'corporate memory' which attempts to provide information systems support to the organization as a whole. It also examines the propositions that organizations incur higher information gathering costs than individuals and higher lost opportunity costs. The corporate memory system is a logical extension to the office automation concepts being widely discussed today. A proposed design and some examples of potential utility of corporate memory systems are presented.
