ABSTRACT

We investigate the relationship between firm performance and patterns of exploration and exploitation dynamics under conditions of environmental turbulence. Adopting a contingency perspective, we develop arguments on how environmental turbulence moderates the effects of the simultaneous or sequential engagement in exploration and exploitation. Based on a longitudinal sample of 140 pharmaceutical firms, we find that the effectiveness of sequential or flexible simultaneous engagement in ambidexterity varies depending on the environmental contingency, namely level of technological change, that a company faces.

创新者的困境：在动荡的环境中顺序或灵活的探索和开发模式的性能后果

摘要

我们调查了环境动荡条件下公司绩效与勘探和开发动态模式之间的关系。采用权变的观点，我们就环境动荡如何缓和同时或相继参与勘探和开发的影响展开论证。基于 140 家制药公司的纵向样本，我们发现在双元性中顺序或灵活同时参与的有效性因公司面临的环境偶然性（即技术变革水平）而异。
