다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In light of the complementary benefits of exploitation and exploration, scholars have suggested that maintaining a balance between these activities is a key for organizational survival and prosperity. Despite the significant insights regarding the importance of balancing exploitation and exploration, several rival interpretations exist on how to achieve the balance. Based upon a comprehensive review of prior work and conflicting arguments, this paper develops an integrative framework for balancing eexploitation and exploration. The framework is composed four fundamental modes for coping with the conflicting demands of exploitation and exploration: contextual ambidexterity, structural ambidexterity, temporal overlap, and domain separation. Contextual ambidexterity resolves the tension between exploitation and exploration by suggesting that these activities are maintained simultaneously at any given organizational level. structural ambidexterity is a form of spatial buffering, whereby exploitation and exploration occur simultaneously but are situated within distinct organizational units. With temporal overlap, exploitation and exploration coexist in the same organizational unit but at different points in time, so that organizations switch between exploitation and exploration. Finally, domain separation suggests that organizations specialize in either exploitation or exploration in particular organizational domains while balancing these activities across domains. A case study of exploitative and exploratory innovation of a publishing company suggests that firm could deploy multiple approach to achieve the exploitation-exploration balance. These findings highlight the importance of considering the interplay among different approaches of organizational ambidexterity.
