This paper attempts to delineate and analyze the relationship between organizational search activities and organizational ambidexterity. A growing number of studies confirm that organizational ambidexterity is important for firm survival and long-term prosperity. However, research on how to achieve ambidexterity is still limited. To date, structural separation, contextul ambidexterity, and top management team attributes are proposed and examined as major antecedents of organizational ambidexterity. In this paper, I argue that orgnizational search may influence ambidexterity through its effect on exxploratory innovation and exploitative innovation. Since little study has been paid to uncover the relationship between knowledge search and ambidexterity, I develop theoretical arguments and propose some propositions rather than examine hypotheses. The propositions developed in the study are as follows; P1: The breadth of internal search is positively associated with exploratory innovation; P2: The breadth of external search has a reverse U-shaped relationship with exploratory innovation; P3: The depth of internal search is positively associated with exploitative innovation; P4: The depth of external search has a reverse U-shaped relationship with exploitative innovation; P5: The interaction between internal search breadth and internal search depth is positively associated with organizational ambidexterity; P6: The interaction between external search breadth and external search depth is positively associated with organizational ambidexterity. Based on the above propositions, I suggest some considerations for empirical research and propose avenues for future research.

Researchers have confirmed the relationship between ambidexterity learning and innovation performance, but according to the resource-based theory, the relationship between ambidexterity learning and innovation performance is also affected by the internal resources of the organization. Internal resources are an important factor affecting the transformation of learning outcomes into performance. In addition, few scholars have pointed out whether different types of learning have different effects on different types of innovation performance. This study collects data from 170 High-tech enterprises in Shandong, china, and discusses the effects of exploitative learning and explorative learning on management innovation performance and technological innovation performance. This study further examines the moderating role of slack resource on the relationship between ambidexterity learning and innovation performance. Results show that ambidexterity learning has positive effect on innovation performance. Compared with exploitative learning, explorative learning has a greater impact on management innovation performance; compared with explorative learning, exploitative learning has a greater impact on technological innovation performances. Slack resource has positive moderating role between the relationship of exploitative learning, explorative learning and technology innovation performance. But Slack resource has no moderating role between the relationship of exploitative learning, explorative learning and management innovation performance.

This paper tries to find out antecedents and consequences of innovation ambidexterity among companies residing in the airport. To define antecedents, this paper regards such four variables as relationship orientation, market orientation, dynamic capabilities and level of resources. Such variables are assumed to have an effect on innovative ambidexterity and the innovative ambidexterity is also presumed to have an impact on company's marketing consequences. According to hypothesis test, the more a company has relationship orientation, market orientation, dynamic capabilities and level of resources, the more effective an innovation ambidexterity becomes and the bigger marketing performance could be expected. Therefore companies ought to maintain both exploration and utilization perspectives of innovation ambidexterity following the four variables above to expand new customer market and increase revenues.

Ambidexterity and leadership agility have become the most researched topics to analyze their application in companies, especially in this dynamic era. Several researchers have analyzed it in large companies. However, only a few have discussed the two topics simultaneously and at the MSME level. This study aims to analyze the relationship between ambidexterity and leadership agility and innovation capability and performance at MSMEs in Yogyakarta and East Java, Indonesia. This study is analyzed by using quantitative methods with SEM (Structural Equation Model) methods. The data in this study is primary data that is obtained through distributing 230 questionnaires to MSME managers in Yogyakarta and East Java, Indonesia. From 230 questionnaires distributed, 200 questionnaires are returned and completed, so the response rate in this study is 86%. The results in this study indicate that ambidexterity and leadership agility have a significant effect on innovation capability and MSME performance. This study also proved that innovation capability has a significant effect on MSME performance. Therefore, it is recommended for MSME managers to develop ambidexterity and leadership agility so they can create innovation and good performance. In the end, this study has provided findings related to the combination of ambidexterity and leadership agility variables.

4차 산업혁명과 창조경제라는 화두가 지배하고 있는 오늘날의 경영환경하에서 중소기업들은 지속가능한 성장을 위하여 혁신역량 확보에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 특히 혁신역량 혹은 혁신성과를 창출하기 위하여 중소기업들은 조직의 양면적 특징, 즉 탐색과 활용이라는 양면성에 관심을 기울이고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 중소기업들을 대상으로 혁신성과를 창출할 수 있는 핵심 요소로서 조직의 맥락적 양면성을 고찰하고 이들 양면성을 자극하고 촉진하는 요인과 혁신성과간의 관계를 발견하기 위하여 실증분석을 실시하였다. 이를 위해 조직내 맥락적 양면성의 선행요인으로 대표적 경영혁신 기법이자 전사적 차원의 혁신 활동인 품질관리관행을 채택하였으며, 양면성의 결과변수로 혁신성과(급진적/점진적 제품혁신)을 설정하여, 일련의 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 품질관리관행인 품질분임조활동은 조직의 두 가지 맥락적 양면성 즉, 탐색과 활용 모두에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 맥락적 양면성은 혁신성과에도 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 맥락적 양면성은 품질분임조활동과 혁신성과간의 관계를 완전매개하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과는 중소기업의 혁신성과를 달성하기 위해서는 맥락적 양면성의 확보가 필수적이며, 맥락적 양면성을 촉진 또는 자극하기 위해서는 품질분임조와 같은 품질관리활동이 반드시 선행되어야 함을 시사하고 있다.

The organizational ambidexterity has been emerging as the way to gain competitive advantage in turbulent environment. The concept of ambidexterity is simultaneously accomplishing the balance between the activities of exploration and exploitation, and overcoming their conflicting tension. The beneficial merits of ambidexterity has been investigated in innovation, financial performance, strategic management, and etc. Our study focused on the impact of ambidextrous activities on creative performance. Although three ambidextrous modes-structural ambidexterity, contextual ambidexterity, and sequential ambidexterity-have been already acknowledged, scant studies suggested the specific mechanisms to achieve ambidexterity in practice at the operating level. To address the issue we performed the semantic network analysis on the basis of the previous literatures prescribing ambidexterity theory. We took interview with 21 teams to explore behaviors of teams from the ambidextrous perspective, and then interpreted the relationship among words which appeared in the interview. This study found the appropriate mechanism which alleviate tension revealed by exploitation and exploration exist as practical reality. We demonstrated how these ambidextrous mechanisms can be used to generate the creative performance as well as examined various antecedents. These findings would contribute to the more fine-grained understanding of organizational ambidexterity, especially in conjunction with organizational creativity.

양면적 혁신이란 탐색과 활용의 모순된 두 가지 속성을 동시에 추구할 수 있는 조직의 혁신 능력이며, 이를 확보하게 되면 보다 우월한 성과를 거둘 수 있다는 것이 양면성 가설이다. 본 연구의 목적은 조직학습 및 혁신 분야 문헌들에 근거하여 일반적으로 가정되어 왔던 양면성 혁신과 기업성과간의 관계를 실증하는 데에 있다. 구체적으로 본 연구는 1994년에서 2009년 사이에 제작된 714편의 한국 TV 드라마 제작 프로젝트를 바탕으로 도출된 57명의 제작자를 표본으로 하여 드라마 제작자의 양면적 혁신전략이 드라마 성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과, 새로운 장르를 시도하는 탐색적 장르 혁신과 기존 성공 장르를 반복하는 활용적 장르 혁신의 상호작용 효과가 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 설정된 '양면성' 가설이 지지되었다. 이러한 결과는 문화산업과 같이 불확실성이 높은 환경에서 장기적인 성과를 담보하기 위해서는 새로운 기회의 탐색과 기존 지식의 활용을 동시에 모두 추구하는 혁신 행동이 요구됨을 시사하고 있다.

Purpose: This research explores how domain passion in addition to entrepreneurial passion influences innovation strategy of venture, thus expanding the role of passion in choosing the path for innovation strategy. Passion is considered one of the most debated concepts in entrepreneurship, psychology, and marketing literatures, and yet a framework describing the integrated effect of entrepreneurial and domain passion on innovation strategy of venture is still lacking. Research data and methodology: Based on an inductive qualitative approach, the research addresses these issues via analyzing four unique cases of independently owned restaurants in Pakistan. The research focusses on the entrepreneurs who startup a venture out of a passion for a specific domain and have a passion for entrepreneurship either from start or it fuels up later during entrepreneurial process. Results: In the presence of both types of passions (Domain and entrepreneurial), the individuals will be inclined towards ambidexterity which differ in types from case to case according to different combinations and intensities (harmonious and obsessive) of passion. Conclusion: Research shows how innovation strategy of domain passion driven ventures is influenced by both entrepreneurial and domain passion, so to understand the role of passion in such cases integrated effect of both passions needs to be explored.

The study aims to investigate the relationship between innovation activities and business process performance in higher education institution (hereinafter referred to as "HEI") context. The data was collected using a survey and later analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLSSEM) and SmartPLS software. A total of 50 questionnaires were submitted from respondents representing vocational study program management located in Makassar, Indonesia. The findings show that two hypotheses discussed in this study fit the empirical data. Specifically, the results show that there is a positive relationship between innovation activities and business process performance, involving two types of innovation activities, which are exploration activities and exploitation activities, within HEIs. Explorative activity is firmly related to exploitative activity, which furthermore links to business process performance within the HEIs observed. The results confirm that exploration activity can stimulate and lead the HEIs management to generate exploitation activity. For instance, capabilities to absorb knowledge from the external institution may lead this institution to generate advanced academic processes, as well as more efficient and effective managerial processes. The study also signifies ambidexterity capacity, suggesting that it may lead HEIs management to formulate proper strategies in achieving better performance and gaining competitive advantage.
