The Lotus 79 with full ground effects was unbeatable , almost 3 seconds a lap quicker ahead of its rivals so Brabham designer Gordon Murray designed a car which due to its wide flat twelve Alfa engine could not copy the Lotus twin skirts but instead had a massive fan which was supposed to cool the engine but in fact sucked so much air from under the car that the thing stuck to the road. Both drivers were told in practice and qualifying to drive at eight tenths as Gordon wanted to surprise Lotus in the race. Although Watson dropped out Lauda won the race by over 30 seconds . In spite of protests the FIA ruled that the car was legal but team owner Ecclestone decided not to run the car again as he was setting up F.O.C.A.

  • Adaptation at Full Speed - Regulatory Changes in Fast Moving Industries Karin Hoisl University of Munich Management [email protected]
    Paper to be presented at the DRUID 2011 on INNOVATION, STRATEGY, and STRUCTURE - Organizations, Institutions, Systems and Regions at Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, June 15-17, 2011 Adaptation at Full Speed - Regulatory Changes in Fast Moving Industries Karin Hoisl University of Munich Management [email protected] Abstract Prior research provides rich insights into the mechanisms to enhance an organization?s ability to adapt. Even though human resources have been found to play a key role to enable organizations to reply to environmental opportunities and threats, evidence at the individual level is scarce. A comprehensive understanding of the determinants of adaptation is particularly important in fast moving industries, where organizations typically do not get a second chance to make up for a failure to adapt. This paper aims at filling this research gap. It uses a unique data set on Formula One motorsport constructors. A pre-post experimental design with exogenous regulatory change allows for the operationalization of adaptation as well as a causal interpretation of the results. The findings indicate that whereas domain-specific experience at the level of the individual decreases the adaptive ability of an organization, experience from moderately distant technological fields increases it. To exploit experience from more distant fields, absorptive capacity is needed. Additionally, results provide first evidence that learning matters with respect to the determinants of adaptation. Jelcodes:O32,- Adaptation at Full Speed – Regulatory Changes in Fast Moving Industries 1 INTRODUCTION Although understanding the determinants of adaptation looks back on a long tradition, it is still in the focus of research (Lawrence and Lorsch, 1967; Chakravarthy, 1982; Meyer, 1982; Ginsberg and Buchholtz, 1990; Ganesh et al., 2004).
