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...

To maintain competitiveness and sustainability, firms must implement a combination of internal and external strategies that enhance their innovation potential. This study identifies absorptive capacity (ACAP) as a strategic antecedent of open innovation (OI) and examines its effect on innovative...

The article examines how organizational wisdom influences innovation in museums and explores the role of organizational capacity in this relationship. The study employs a cross-sectional survey design, capturing data at a single point to analyze the mediating effect within a specific timeframe....
