Advancing the Conceptualization and Operationalization of Novelty in Organizational Research
认为新颖性是多维概念，批评现有探索与利用研究对其定义和测量过于狭窄，并讨论多维视角对未来研究的意义。
The construct of novelty is an important primitive for theories of organization learning, strategic change, and innovation. The organizational pursuit of novelty is generally theorized as necessary for long-term organizational adaptation and survival yet variance increasing in the short term. We argue that the recent explosion of studies of exploration and exploitation tend to conceptualize and operationalize novelty quite narrowly. In contrast, we treat novelty as a multidimensional construct and discuss implications of this approach for future research.
