"In times of major technological and social innovation in motorsport, A History of Organizational Change. The Case of Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), 1946-2020 arrives at just the right moment. In this important book, Hans Erik Næss explores how varying historical changes continuously shape and transform the FIA as a hybrid organisation. By critically reviewing projects like Formula E, this book provides fresh insights on the FIA’s future and enhances the expertise of scholars and fans alike." – Timothy Robeers, Professor of Communication Sciences and Assistant Editor for the Journal of Motorsport History and Culture, Antwerp University, Belgium “Jean Todt, President of FIA, the world governing body of motorsport has said that much as many love the sport a worldwide health pandemic reminds us that “it is not essential for society”, that “a new deal” is needed for the future. This study, combining historical sociology with organizational analysis and theories of institutional logics, explains how the FIA has developed since its formation in 1904 as a special hybrid entity characterised by what Hans Erik Næss calls “organisational emulsion”, a previously unidentified model or process of organisational change. If you want to understand how SGBs (Sport Governing Bodies) have survived, some with an adaptive potential promising positive change, read this case study.” - Alan Tomlinson, Professor of Leisure Studies, University of Brighton UK This book is the first independent exploration of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile’s (FIA) institutional history. Virtually unexamined compared with similar institutions like the FIFA and the IOC, the FIA has nevertheless changed from being a small association in 1904 to becoming one of the world’s most influential sport governing bodies. Through chronologically organised chapters, this book explains how the FIA manages to link together motorsport circuses like Formula 1 with the automotive industry and societal issues like road safety and environmental sustainability. In an exciting narrative spanning seven decades, it reviews the FIA’s organisational turning points, governing controversies, political dramas and sporting tragedies. Considering the FIA to be a unique type of hybrid organisation characterised by what the author calls ‘organisational emulsion’, this case study contains theoretical innovations relevant to other studies of sport governing bodies. It makes an empirically grounded contribution to the research fields of institutional logics, historical sociology and sport governance.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, sanctions were implemented that banned Russia from most international sports. As a result, sport governing bodies (SGBs) have made a marked shift in their tradition of neutrality, to a point of no return. In light of this, this book asks what is next for SGBs. It provides an analysis of the root problem that sport governing bodies have had with politics since their inception: a paradoxical treatment of neutrality. This can be evidenced by their awarding of Mega-Sport Events to authoritarian states and also through the SGBs' own desire to make a difference by promoting human rights and sustainable development. Good or bad, the author argues that their neutrality principles are invalidated by their actions. Offering interdisciplinary research with empirical examples, this issue is explored in an engaging, yet analytical way, making it valuable reading for researchers and students interested in sport management, for organisations and also policy makers. This book presents a pioneering study of neutrality and autonomy in sport in light of the Ukraine crisis, and addresses a growing appetite in academia on how sport governing bodies will reconcile their commitments to societal progress, whilst maintaining neutrality. Hans Erik Næss is a Professor of Sport Management at Department of Leadership and Organization, Kristiania University College, Norway. He is the author of "A History of Organizational Change: The case of Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), 1946-2020" (Palgrave Macmillan 2020) and his current work focuses on the interconnections between sport, sustainability and human rights.

"This open access book provides novel insights on management innovation and sustainability in motorsport. Utilizing the all-electric racing championship called Formula E as case, it draws upon data from multiple sources such as sustainability reports of Formula and its stakeholders, media data, podcasts and newspaper articles, partner publications, and social media outputs. It aims to generate a theoretical model that describes and explains the optimal conditions for innovation when it comes to enhancing a sport organisation's commercial product. Apart from its general transferability to sports research, this model enables further study of a motorsport phenomenon that has been hailed by media as the championship, which affirms money in sustainability. It has also been emphasized by sport researchers as a highly relevant case to study management innovation. This book will be interesting to academics working in sports management, knowledge management, innovation and sustainability."-- Provided by publisher
