Much has been written about how organizations create and exchange knowledge to achieve a competitive advantage. To date, most researchers have concentrated on the present and how organizational leaders may use knowledge to create value today. However, there exists a need in literature for research focused on what leaders should be doing now to ensure the continued knowledge of the next generation of organizational leaders. Building Organizational Memories: Will You Know What You Knew? provides relevant theoretical frameworks, latest empirical research findings, and practitioners' best practices in the area of organizational memory. Written for professionals, researchers, and academicians, this book contains a wide range of topics related to preserving organizational knowledge for the next generation.
