Today, the concepts of corporate memory, organizational learning and corporate culture, which are necessary for businesses to survive, are indispensable elements for organizations and they are seen as the key to success. The main objective of this research is to determine the extent and direction in which corporate memory and organizational learning affect firm performance through corporate culture. Within the framework of this research model, the relationship between the sub-dimensions of corporate memory and organizational learning, which are our independent variables, and the sub-dimensions of firm performance, which is our dependent variable, were examined. In addition, the role of corporate culture as an intermediary in the relations between variables was questioned in the scope of the research. The research was carried out with comprehensive research on IT and Technology companies operating in Istanbul. The questionnaire method was chosen as the data collection method, and 7-point Likert-type expressions were used in the scales. 635 IT and Technology Companies in the Marmara region participated in the study.
