Prehistory, history and writing culture

Last week I was helping one of my children with their history study, and I came across something I had forgotten: the clear distinction between prehistory and history. Prehistory ends with the discovery of writing, and history begins.

Is there a prehistory and history for organizations too? Can an organization benefit in a similar way as the human civilization did by committing to a writing culture?

I think so. I wrote an advocacy piece on writing culture here.
