“…Organizational culture contributes to shape innovation (Adamsky, 2010). Classic studies of intrawar military innovation drew attention to the process of identifying lessons, both after and during wars, and the effective reframing of doctrine accordingly, as a key factor in German military effectiveness and an element of distinction from other European countries (Murray, 1996). Terriff (2006) convincingly showed how the U.S. Marines' ''organizational paranoia'' about the Corps' very survival as a separate service shaped the way the Corps adopted mechanization and changed its doctrine in the 70s.…”

How does military change take place in states that are not able to develop autonomous solutions? How does transformation occur when limited resources are available? What are the ''sources of military change'' for armed forces that do not possess the (cognitive and material) resources that are essential for autonomous development?In articulating an answer to these questions, this article draws from the theoretical debate on interorganizational learning and looks at the mechanisms that drive ''learning from others.'' We argue that adaptation and organizational learning often had to look for, and then try and adapt, off-the-shelf solutions that required relatively more limited resources. Empirically, the article focuses on the Italian Armed Forces, which have rarely attracted scholarly attention, although it emerged from almost total lack of activity in the Cold War to extended deployments in the 2000s.

“…In the United States, the navy created a culture of relationship between fleet exercises, professional military education and wargaming at the Naval War College, Newport. 6 The British, on the other hand, could not exploit their early lead in carrier aviation since they lacked similarly structured processes for evaluation of concepts related to carrier-based aviation.…”
