Proposta teórico-conceitual da memória empresarial : um caminhar de potencialidades

Abstract

Memory, since 1990, has been gaining ground in Brazil‟s corporate environment. Many organizations seek to develop a empresarial memory project, especially at moments when they celebrate their aniversaries, elaborating actions and products that shows their history. However, we try to demonstrate that empresarial memory can go further than these actions and products. We present a theoretical-conceptual proposal to (re) think, understand and develop Programs/Projects of Empresarial Memory, taking in account the Complexity Paradigm three principles: dialogic, recursive and hologrammatical (MORIN, 2000; 2003a; 2003b; 2005; 2007; 2008; 2013). According to it we state that the projects/programs of empresarial memory are constituted by, and are producers of, memorialistic organizational discourses that develop recursively from a conceptual triad Memory, Communication and Power. In this perspective, memorialistic discourses tend to (re) constitute senses and meanings in and from organization with their different publics. Such senses and meanings are (re) constituted by management of affectionateness and organizational knowledge (which both affectionateness and knowledge come from empresarial memory). We wish to demonstrate that these affectionate memories and knowledge memories can be worked in a continuous and transversal ways to other areas and activities of the company, focusing on different organizational processes. This way, we make a theoretical reflection, working concepts that constitute the triad of our proposal, it‟s (inter) relations and overlapping, with the intent to demonstrate theoretically the potential of projects/programs of empresarial memory of corporate memory in organizational management. We also make an empirical study of the Memory Project of National Bank of Economic and Social Development (BNDES). Its goal is to identify consonants and dissonant theoretical aspects related to our model.
