Prior research has suggested that learning capabilities of exploitation and exploration may affect incremental and radical innovations in firms. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of empirical studies that have examined these relationships in quality-oriented organisations, especially in European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) organisations. This research empirically examines whether EFQM improves learning ambidexterity as well as promotes incremental and radical innovations. Concretely, this research explores these relationships, using Partial least squares (PLS) with data from 200 Spanish industrial companies. The results of this study show first that the EFQM framework enhances exploitation and exploration (ambidexterity), incremental and radical innovations. Secondly, these results demonstrate the power of exploitation and exploration over incremental and radical innovations. Thirdly, they display that learning capabilities may play a mediating role in the relationship between EFQM and both types of innovation. Moreover, the results of this study cover an existing gap in literature, since there is no literature that has tried to link as a whole quality management models, exploitation, exploration, incremental and radical innovations. The proposed framework is therefore helpful for managers, by providing a deeper understanding of how organisations may improve the results of their innovations by enhancing exploration and exploitation and by following the EFQM model.

EFQM 是否增强了学习和创新?

先前的研究表明,利用和探索的学习能力可能会影响公司的渐进式和激进式创新。然而,在以质量为导向的组织中,特别是在欧洲质量管理基金会 (EFQM) 组织中,缺乏检验这些关系的实证研究。本研究通过实证检验 EFQM 是否能提高学习的二元性以及促进渐进式和激进式创新。具体来说,本研究使用偏最小二乘法 (PLS) 和来自 200 家西班牙工业公司的数据来探索这些关系。这项研究的结果首先表明,EFQM 框架增强了开发和探索(二元性)、渐进式和激进式创新。第二,这些结果证明了对渐进式和激进式创新的开发和探索的力量。第三,他们表明学习能力可能在 EFQM 与两种类型的创新之间的关系中起中介作用。此外,这项研究的结果涵盖了文献中现有的空白,因为没有文献试图将质量管理模型、开发、探索、渐进式和激进式创新联系起来作为一个整体。因此,拟议的框架有助于管理者更深入地了解组织如何通过加强探索和利用以及遵循 EFQM 模型来改进其创新成果。他们表明,学习能力可能在 EFQM 与两种类型的创新之间的关系中发挥中介作用。此外,这项研究的结果涵盖了文献中现有的空白,因为没有文献试图将质量管理模型、开发、探索、渐进式和激进式创新联系起来作为一个整体。因此,拟议的框架有助于管理者更深入地了解组织如何通过加强探索和利用以及遵循 EFQM 模型来改进其创新成果。他们表明,学习能力可能在 EFQM 与两种类型的创新之间的关系中发挥中介作用。此外,这项研究的结果涵盖了文献中现有的空白,因为没有文献试图将质量管理模型、开发、探索、渐进式和激进式创新联系起来作为一个整体。因此,拟议的框架有助于管理者更深入地了解组织如何通过加强探索和利用以及遵循 EFQM 模型来改进其创新成果。
