 (2010) explain that each of the velocity regimes they propose is suited to a different temporal orientation, which they define as “how individuals and teams conceive of time".Specially, they argue that when velocity dimensions are tightly coupled to each (i.e., “the relationship between the velocities of different dimensions involve significant immediate, direct causal effects”), an organization’s capabilities would benefit from a polychronic orientation.In contrast, when velocity regimes are loosely coupled (i.e., “changes in the velocity of one dimension have relatively little immediate, direct impact on the velocities of other dimensions”) an organization’s capabilities would benefit from a monochronic orientation.
