• Organizational forgetting and its causes: an empirical research (2009, background): “Forgetting is thus viewed as a necessary process for the management of change (Akgün et al., 2007).”
• The Effect of Absorptive Capacity on Innovativeness: Context and Information Systems Capability as Catalysts (2010, neutral): “Most authors consider that forgetting is challenging for individuals because of the loss of prior ways of seeing reality – the loss of fundamental assumptions – which until now had brought certainty and security (Akgün et al., 2007).”
