The "metaverse" - envisaged as an expansive, fully interoperable network of 3D virtual worlds - remains a distant prospect with a certain degree of conceptual and technological ambiguity. Nevertheless, an increasing number of firms are investigating the potential of the metaverse as a platform...

While studies on ambidexterity and its impact on outcomes have been ubiquitous in organizational research, the literature regarding its nature in schools has been scarce and has lacked information about its impact on student achievement. To address this research gap, this study examined the...

The transformative potential of Generative AI promises novel capabilities within business environments. This study examines the value creation potential of Generative AI within a large multinational corporation. A single case study approach at Siemens was employed, combining extensive...

Exploration and exploitation have opposite natures; therefore, balancing the two presents a key challenge for firms. Recent studies have argued that firms can combine exploration (exploitation) capabilities with exploitation (exploration) partnerships to surmount this obstacle. However, little...

Some studies have provided empirical evidence that firms' high growth rates just before economic crises are negatively associated with resilience. Other authors have observed that firms that grow fast in the early phases of an external crisis are generally more resilient. This countercyclical...

This paper studies how the interplay between the cycle and firm-specific characteristics (firm size and exporting activities) shapes firms' choice between exploratory and exploitative innovation investments. We analyze the PITEC database, a panel of Spanish firms in manufacturing and service...

In my research, the effects that the racial diversity of firms' leadership has in deciding the sustainable composition of firms' alliance portfolios is investigated, defined as the distribution of exploratory, exploitative, and mixed alliances. Grounded in social categorization, information...

Ambidextrous innovation is considered to be a key framework for innovation that offers organizations the ability to maintain their current level of competitiveness and develop and sustain a long-term competitive advantage. However, the implementation of ambidextrous innovation is constrained by...

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of quality-oriented human resource practices (QHRP) on organizational ambidexterity. Furthermore, the mediating role of ambidextrous culture in the relationship between QHRP and organizational ambidexterity was assessed....

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has gained increasing significance in recent years. RPA leverages software bots to automate repetitive business processes traditionally performed by humans, making it one of the easiest, least invasive, and fastest automation approaches. Publications on the topic...

Persisting global crises, such as COVID-19, pose significant challenges for international companies. The increase in uncertainty and instability in foreign markets has profoundly affected firms' strategic decisions, forcing them to adapt to dynamic conditions in order to maintain or improve...

The impact of history and the use of firms' past in theoretical models examining firm strategies have garnered increasing attention. Whether firms can benefit from their history imprints to facilitate innovation strategies is an increasingly important, yet under-researched, question. This study...

Despite extensive research on the impact of ambidexterity strategy on firm performance, little is known about how team and individual factors affect innovation performance in new-venture businesses. In response to the call for research on the topic, this study examines the relationship between...

This study examines whether staged project management is beneficial or harmful for making product innovations. Using a unique firm urvey for Japan, we find that firms that employed staged project management had a higher likelihood of introducing new products to the market. Additional estimations...

Start-ups zeichnen sich durch limitierte personelle sowie finanzielle Ressourcen aus. Gleichzeitig sind sowohl Wachstumsambitionen als auch das Risiko zu scheitern groß. Daraus resultiert die Herausforderung, Tagesgeschäft, inkrementelle Innovationen und disruptive Neuerungen des Start-ups zu...

In einer immer komplexeren Welt mit beschleunigten Innovationszyklen und sich ständig verändernden Anforderungen sind Unternehmen mehr denn je einem starken Wettbewerbsdruck ausgesetzt. Für sie besteht einerseits die Notwendigkeit, ihr bestehendes Kerngeschäft durch kontinuierliche...

Despite the prevalence of non-routine analytical team tasks in modern economies, little is understood regarding how incentives influence performance in these tasks. In a series of field experiments involving more than 5,000 participants, we investigate how incentives alter behavior in teams...

Tournaments are often used to improve performance in innovation contexts. Tournaments provide monetary incentives but also render teams' identity and image concerns salient. We study the effects of tournaments on team performance in a non-routine task and identify the importance of these...
