Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a fascinating look at the evolution of organizational memory within American manufacturing firms between 1880 and 1920. The author explores how the emergence of "systematic management" - a philosophy that sought to bring order and efficiency to business practices - led to the development of formal communication systems that served as a repository for corporate knowledge. Before this era, organizational memory was largely a matter of individual knowledge and memory, relying heavily on the experience and expertise of individual workers and managers. However, as firms grew in size and complexity, the limitations of this informal system became apparent. The need to transcend individual memory in favor of a more comprehensive organizational memory became increasingly urgent. The author meticulously traces the ways in which firms began to document policies and procedures, operational data, and even internal friction, creating a lasting record of their internal workings. This shift in record-keeping practices fundamentally transformed the way businesses operated, allowing for greater efficiency, control, and accountability. By meticulously analyzing primary source materials from the period, the author sheds light on the historical development of organizational memory as a crucial component of modern business practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332256808_0
