The Interplay Between Exploration and Exploitation
探讨了探索与利用这对组织适应研究核心概念的含义、关系、平衡方式（双元性还是间断平衡）以及是否所有组织都必须追求平衡，总结了相关研究贡献并指出未来方向。
Exploration and exploitation have emerged as the twin concepts underpinning organizational adaptation research, yet some central issues related to them remain ambiguous. We address four related questions here: What do exploration and exploitation mean? Are they two ends of a continuum or orthogonal to each other? How should organizations achieve balance between exploration and exploitation—via ambidexterity or punctuated equilibrium? Finally, must all organizations strive for a balance, or is specialization in exploitation or exploration sometimes sufficient for long-run success? We summarize the contributions of the work in this special research forum and highlight important directions for future research.
