      abstract     = {The global automotive industry is faced with major
                      technological change in the field of propulsion systems. Due
                      to low carbon emission regulations and a rising societal
                      demand for sustainability, original equipment manufacturers
                      (OEMs) are forced to innovate either in the conventional
                      technology or in the technological alternatives such as
                      electric drives or fuel cells. However, OEMs are only
                      marginally switching to electromobility so far, but rather
                      incrementally innovating traditional technologies. This
                      behaviour can be described as sailing ship effect which
                      contains the reaction of an old technology to a new
                      technology by fostering innovation in the old technology.
                      Firstly, the present study contributes to the discussion in
                      literature on the sailing ship effect by combining its
                      underlying ideas and consequences with the rationales of
                      path dependence to demonstrate that such a behaviour may be
                      individually economical rational. Based on these
                      considerations, we respond to the call for further empirical
                      investigation of the sailing ship effect. We show
                      patent-based evidence that there has been a temporary
                      sailing ship effect in the automotive industry concerning
                      traditional and emerging propulsion systems and discuss
                      implications for corporate technology strategy and policy.},
