I used to work at the research lab for Shell Oil in the US. We used the academic model - though it was beginning to break down as the dreaded PowerPoint began to dominate. I also published in an internal technical magazine distributed company-wide that was less formal but had wider reach. But all that takes time and dedication, and management support. Internal conferences drove much of the creation of documents - you need to give a paper at the conference, a paper in addition to the presentation is required, so a paper gets generated.
