Additional quotes by James P. Walsh
The construct of Organizational Memory is composed of the structure of its retention facility, the information contained in it, the processes of information acquisition and retrieval, and its consequential effects. In its most basic sense, organizational memory refers to stored information from an organization's history that can be brought to bear on present decisions. This information is stored as a consequence of implementing decisions to which they refer, by individual recollections, and through shared interpretations.

Next, these processes undergird a discussion of how organizational memory can be used, misused, or abused in the management of organizations.
