A Typology for Aligning Organizational Ambidexterity's Conceptualizations, Antecedents, and Outcomes
梳理组织双元性的现有研究,提出一个包含四种原型的类型学,将不同概念化与前因、结果对齐,为未来研究提供方向。
abstract We take stock of the current body of knowledge and understanding on organizational ambidexterity to further specify the construct and develop a typology to focus this line of research. To that end, we first synthesize the various insights on ambidexterity's conceptualization in extant research. We then develop a parsimonious, yet coherent typology that delineates four archetypes of ambidexterity using two primary dimensions underlying previous conceptualizations of this construct. To help focus and align extant research, we next map these types onto the most salient theories, antecedents, and outcomes that are uniquely germane to each. Finally, we offer several recommendations and promising avenues for future inquiries that follow from our typology and associated discussion.
