Organizational Ambidexterity: Balancing Exploitation and Exploration for Sustained Performance
这篇综述探讨了组织双元性研究中的四个核心争议:分化还是整合、个体还是组织层面、静态还是动态视角、内部还是外部实现,并介绍了本期特刊的七篇文章及未来研究方向。
Organizational ambidexterity has emerged as a new research paradigm in organization theory, yet several issues fundamental to this debate remain controversial. We explore four central tensions here: Should organizations achieve ambidexterity through differentiation or through integration? Does ambidexterity occur at the individual or organizational level? Must organizations take a static or dynamic perspective on ambidexterity? Finally, can ambidexterity arise internally, or do firms have to externalize some processes? We provide an overview of the seven articles included in this special issue and suggest several avenues for future research.
