This book empirically explores the phenomenon of organizational remembrance from a holistic cultural perspective. Based on a twelve-month ethnographic case study conducted at the headquarters of the German automobile company, AUDI AG, this study dissects the relationships between memory, identity, and image in a corporate setting. The greater aim in doing so is twofold: First, this study examines exactly why and how a company officially manages its past in terms of 'history' and 'tradition.' And second, this study scrutinizes what effect organizational remembrance has on the workforce - how it impacts their collective identification with a corporate community and influences their understanding of their daily working life. By investigating the interplay between different stakeholder groups, as well as their practices, media, mental models, and other vehicles of remembrance, an integrated account is offered which makes sense of the complex cultural forces at work in the corporate handling of the past, the present, and the future. 410 0$aMedia and cultural memory ;$vVolume 21. 606 $aOrganizational behavior 606 $aCollective memory 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aOrganizational memory. 610 $acorporate history management. 610 $aorganizational ethnography. 610 $aorganizational identity. 615 0$aOrganizational behavior. 615 0$aCollective memory. 676 $a338.7/6292220943 700 $aMai$b Daniel$f1984-$01053881 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460426803321 996 $aOrganizational cultures of remembrance$92486031 997 $aUNINA
