A knowledge base consisting of design cases has been structured into an organizational memory which has been supporting a community of novices to learn Information System (IS) for six years. The paper discusses why the organizational learning process which is taking place can be described as a genetic system that evolves towards the best quality attainable, and by means of a simulation examines the role of some components of this socio-technical system (i.e. features of the organizational memory, teacher ability and memetic processes in the community) in steering this evolution. Some indications for the design of socio-technical systems supported by design memories are pointed out.

Abstract
A knowledge base consisting of design cases has been structured into an organizational memory which has been supporting a community of novices to learn Information System (IS) for six years. The paper discusses why the organizational learning process which is taking place can be described as a genetic system that evolves towards the best quality attainable, and by means of a simulation examines the role of some components of this socio-technical system (i.e. features of the organizational memory, teacher ability and memetic processes in the community) in steering this evolution. Some indications for the design of socio-technical systems supported by design memories are pointed out.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
