Drinking from the waters of Lethe: A tale of organizational oblivion
反思组织遗忘，将其视为学习的典型对立面，探讨遗忘如何通过破坏组织叙事导致身份丧失，适合关注组织行为与身份构建的研究者。
This article is a reflection on organizational oblivion, viewed as an archetypical antonym of learning. The consequences of this kind of forgetting for organizational identity construction are described as a narrative project. We refer to the image of Lethe, an archetype of forgetting, to depict how forgetting directly affects the process of identity narrative construction. In this perspective, drinking from the waters of Lethe implies not just the loss of knowledge or memories of how things are done, but the loss of identity so that the individuals do not know who they are anymore. In this context, forgetting disrupts organizational narrative which ceases to be a coherent story and results in organizational identity loss.
