Relative Ambidexterity: A Measure and a Versatile Framework
提出相对双元性概念，认为企业双元性需参照竞争群体来定，并构建了可行相对双元性空间（VRAS）框架，帮助学者和管理者探索组织双元性。
Executives struggle to arrive at appropriate levels of ambidexterity to achieve desired performance. Scholars have proposed varied and sometimes confounding solutions to this challenge. We offer a novel approach by arguing that a firm’s ambidexterity is a strategic choice that must be contextualized in the competitive dynamics of the firm’s referent group. We digress from conventional organization-centric contextualizations and introduce an appropriately specified construct—relative ambidexterity—to address this need. We characterize the viable relative ambidexterity space (VRAS) where ambidexterity choices are made, and we offer a versatile framework to help researchers and practitioners explore organizational ambidexterity. We close by demonstrating how the framework offers opportunities for new streams of scholarly research on ambidexterity.
