各领域的组织互动，包括其前因和后果，仍未得到充分研究，特别是在关系距离和变革技能方面。通过对德国和日本风电行业的比较研究，我们探讨了组织参与者之间的距离和技能发展的重要性。在德国，风能发电量出现了大幅增长，而日本风电领域的情况基本没有变化。我们展示了这两个国家的组织行为者之间的不同程度的距离如何导致刺激能源发电领域转型的技能的不同发展。更确切地说，我们说明了遥远的挑战者的关键作用，说明了他们在成功转变已经建立的外地结构方面的变革技能。通过阐述对关系距离演化的理解，我们的研究有助于场域理论的发展，从而把握特定战略行动场域内参与者的多样性与其技能形成之间的动态相互作用。
Organizational interactions in fields, including their antecedents and consequences, remain under-researched, in particular with regard to relational distance and transformative skills. Through a comparative study of the German and Japanese wind power sectors, we explore the importance of distance among organizational actors and the development of skills. While in the case of Germany a radical increase in wind energy generation can be witnessed, the situation in the field of Japanese wind power remains largely unchanged. We show how different degrees of distance among organizational actors in these two countries result in the different development of skills that stimulate transformation in the field of energy generation. More precisely, we illustrate the pivotal role of distant challengers with their transformative skills for the successful conversion of already established field structures. Our study contributes to field theory by elaborating on the understanding of the evolution of relational distance, thereby grasping the dynamic interplay between the diversity of actors and their skill formation within a certain strategic action field.
