The impacts of ambidextrous innovation on organizational obsolescence in turbulent environments
Shuting Chen,Dengke Yu +1 more
TLDR
Wang et al. as discussed by the authors measured the effects of ambidextrous innovation and its mix strategy on organizational obsolescence with the moderating roles of environmental turbulence, and found that both exploratory and exploitative innovations significantly restrain organizational innovation, whereas it cannot moderate the effect of exploitative innovation.Abstract:
PurposeThe authors aim to measure the effects of ambidextrous innovation and its mix strategy on organizational obsolescence with the moderating roles of environmental turbulence.Design/methodology/approachHierarchical regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses on the basis of the survey data of 198 firm employees in China.FindingsBoth exploratory and exploitative innovations significantly restrain organizational obsolescence. The complementary strategy of ambidextrous innovation is negatively correlated to organizational obsolescence, but the impact of balanced strategy is not significant. Environmental turbulence negatively moderates the relationship between exploratory innovation and organizational obsolescence, whereas it cannot moderate the effect of exploitative innovation.Originality/valueThe empirical and conceptual findings have important implications for organizations countering obsolescence through the construction of a mix strategy of ambidextrous innovation. This study enriches and extends obsolescence theory by introducing the joint mechanism of ambidextrous innovation and environmental turbulence.read more

Structural Differentiation and Ambidexterity: The Mediating Role of Integration Mechanisms
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the previously asserted direct effect of structural differentiation on ambidexterity operates through informal senior team and formal organizational integration mechanisms, and contributes to a greater clarity and better understanding of how organizations may effectively pursue exploration and exploitation simultaneously to achieve ambideXterity.
Exploration and exploitation : the interplay between knowledge and continuous innovation
Claudine Soosay,Paul Hyland +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the sources of knowledge in an engineering firm in Australia and how it is organized and processed, and find that the absorbptive capacity of the firm to assimilate knowledge can encourage greater leverage for exploration potential leading to radical innovation; and reconfiguring exploitable knowledge for incremental improvements.

Technological Regimes and Firm Survival
Jungho Kim,Chang-Yang Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of entry timing, entry size, and active learning on firm survival in the regime of low technological opportunity and high R&D appropriability, under which opportunities for disruptive innovation are stagnant and the advantages of initial resources are more likely to persist.

Exploration and Exploitation in Organizational Learning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the relation between the exploration of new possibilities and the exploitation of old certainties in organizational learning and examine some complications in allocating resources between the two, particularly those introduced by the distribution of costs and benefits across time and space.

Absorptive Capacity: A Review, Reconceptualization, and Extension
Shaker A. Zahra,Gerard George +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify key dimensions of absorptive capacity and offer a reconceptualization of this construct, and distinguish between a firm's potential and realized capacity, and then advance a model outlining the conditions when the firm's realized capacities can differentially influence the creation and sustenance of its competitive advantage.

The myopia of learning
TL;DR: The imperfections of learning are not so great as to require abandoning attempts to improve the learning capabilities of organizations, but that those imperfections suggest a certain conservatism in expectations.
