Abstract: Abstract Do organizations forget? Or do organizations retain the knowledge they acquire as time passes? The classic learning curve assumes that organizational knowledge is cumulative and persists indefinitely through time. Yet, individuals leave organizations. Records can be lost or misplaced. Technologies become obsolete and/or inoperative. Social networks can decay (Burt, 2002).
