Este artigo apresenta uma revisão da literatura sobre o tema "esquecimento organizacional" e suas consequências no processo de aprendizagem organizacional. O objetivo da revisão é mostrar a importância atribuída ao esquecimento organizacional, considerando que acreditamos que ele interfere no processo da aprendizagem. Na literatura, percebe-se haver grande interesse na aprendizagem como um diferencial competitivo na busca por resultados. Por outro lado, parecem ser subvalorizados o esquecimento organizacional e seus desdobramentos nos processos de aprendizagem organizacional.

“…Relatedly, Quinello (2006) explores organizational memory relative to issues that led to financial collapses such as Enron. That report discusses how decisions made moved away from organizational procedures, policies, and ethics (Procedural Memory) to higher dependence upon the influence of others (Environmental Memory) and individuals (Individual Memory).…”

Automated Closed-loop Drilling with ROP Optimization Algorithm Significantly Reduces Drilling Time and Improves Downhole Tool Reliability

The use of an ROP Optimization algorithm within an automated closed loop process has dramatically increased ROP in its first deployments in Iraq, Algeria, and Mexico. Additionally, an unexpected reduction in downhole tool failures was observed resulting in a notable decrease in non-productive time. Importantly, the closed-loop automation, where the algorithm is allowed to send commands directly to the rig control system, shows yet another step change in ROP improvement compared to the algorithm that just presents recommendations to the driller. This paper briefly describes the optimization algorithm and then focuses on the system architecture used to integrate the algorithm with the rig control system. Similar to the SPE DSA-TS Comms Team architecture, the deployed architecture enables the algorithm to receive real-time data from the rig control system and drilling acquisition system to provide a complete data set to the ROP Optimization algorithm. The algorithm constrained by a set of operational limits dynamically computes RPM and WOB commands and sends these to a SCADA system which converts the generic commands into rig specific commands for each rig type used. The driller controls the use of the system via an "Automation Console" provided by the SCADA system and located adjacent to the driller's console. The driller is able to engage or disengage from the system. Failsafe conditions are also incorporated into the automation system.Results showing the improved ROP and downhole reliability compared to field averages across various hole sizes and trajectory profiles are given. These results consistently demonstrate the effectiveness of a closed-loop automation system to improve ROP and tool reliability.

What Makes Grassroots Conservation Organizations Resilient? An Empirical Analysis of Diversity, Organizational Memory, and the Number of Leaders

Conservation Area Management Committees (CAMCs)-the functional decision-making units consisting entirely of local villagers-are grassroots organizations legally established to manage the Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA) in Nepal. These committees suffered due to the decade-long Maoist insurgency, but they survived. The paper attempts to test what factors contributed to their resiliency. For this, I surveyed 30 CAMCs during the summer of 2007 and conducted semi-structured interviews of 190 executive members of the CAMCs and 13 park officials who closely monitor the CAMCs. Regression results showed that the number of leaders (b = 0.44, t = 2.38, P = .027) was the most critical variable for building the resilience of CAMCs to the Maoist insurgency, i.e., retaining the same function, structure, and identity of the committees. As there were no reported conflicts among leaders and they were involved in negotiations and devising contingency plans, CAMCs actually benefited from having more leaders. Of the three diversity indices, the quadratic terms of age diversity (b = -5.42, t = 1.95, P = .064) and ethnic diversity (b = -4.05, t = 1.78, P = .075) had a negative impact on the CAMCs' resilience. Skill diversity and organizational memory had no significant influence on the CAMCs' resilience (t < 1.48, P > .10). These results have important implications for building resilience in community-based conservation.
