Abstract:
|
The search for a mechanism to create and preserve institutional memory emerges when accumulated skills, knowledge, expertise, and professional insight are about to leave an active organization. The use of institutional memory is functional to the mere existence of the organization in a competitive open market, when striving for efficiency under limited resources. Institutional memory is also instrumental to the individuals working in the organization. It generates minimal routine needed to avoid constant decision-making processes. The synergy between the people and the organization brings about traditions in the activation of past processes in knowledge-based rituals. In national statistics institutions the institutional memory is contained as an asset in the close environment of the individual, the organization within the government, and the organization in the international arena.
