The aim of this paper is to study the influence of the environment on the link between intellectual capital and ambidextrous innovation. The environment has been considered taking into account the technological turbulence and the market turbulence. Using a questionnaire survey approach, data were obtained from 155 directors representing Tunisian SMEs. Two main theoretical implications were highlighted. The first is the extent of the intellectual capital contribution, with its human, organizational and relational components, to the reading of the ambidextrous innovation within the organization. The second is the moderating role of environmental turbulence. From a practical side, the study tried to reap the intellectual capital benefits and the intermediate effect of environmental turbulence to improve the manager’s yields in term of innovation. Interestingly, results show that human capital affects ambidextrous innovation. It influences radical innovation more than incremental innovation. Relationship capital promotes only incremental innovation. Organizational capital influences ambidextrous innovation. Its effect on incremental innovation is greater than on radical innovation. Both technological and market turbulences moderate negatively the human capital effect on incremental innovation. Counter to our expectations, however, environmental turbulence does not moderate the interrelationships selectively between relational capital, organizational capital and ambidextrous innovation. The present study is one of the few studies conducted in Tunisia investigating the field of intellectual capital and the first studying its effect on the ambidextrous innovation in a turbulent environment.

环境动荡对智力资本积累和双元创新动态的影响

本文的目的是研究环境对智力资本和灵巧创新之间联系的影响。环境已考虑到技术动荡和市场动荡。使用问卷调查方法，从代表突尼斯中小企业的 155 名董事那里获得数据。强调了两个主要的理论含义。首先是智力资本的贡献程度，包括人力、组织和关系的组成部分，对组织内灵巧创新的解读。二是环境动荡的调节作用。从实践的角度，该研究试图从智力资本收益和环境动荡的中间效应中获取创新方面的管理者收益。有趣的是，结果表明人力资本会影响灵巧创新。它对激进创新的影响大于渐进式创新。关系资本只促进渐进式创新。组织资本影响灵巧创新。它对渐进式创新的影响大于对激进式创新的影响。技术和市场动荡都对人力资本对渐进式创新的影响产生负面影响。然而，与我们的预期相反，环境动荡并没有选择性地缓和关系资本、组织资本和双元创新之间的相互关系。本研究是突尼斯为数不多的研究智力资本领域的研究之一，也是第一个研究其在动荡环境中对灵巧创新的影响的研究。
