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...

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...

Digital transformation is a pivotal strategic pillar for companies. Despite its relevance, incumbent companies still face challenges in implementation due to the complex character of transformation processes. We provide a framework serving as guidance for leaders of digital transformations....

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...

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...

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...

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....

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...

Prior to the ABA coming into existence in 1967, the NBA enjoyed a monopsony in the market for professional basketball talent in the United States. One would predict that a monopsony would be able to exploit the talent employed. The arrival of the ABA, though, theoretically should have...

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...

Though the digital platform economy in some contexts has created new employment opportunities, work in the platform economy has been widely criticized for its often precarious and exploitative character. One central mechanism through which digital platforms construct and conceal exploitative...

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...

Despite the link between conflict and human trafficking having been globally recognised, academic inquiry investigating how the two interact continues to be limited. Given the recency of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in February 2022, this lack of literature is...

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...

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...

Who are more exploited, high-skilled or low-skilled workers? We address this question using the efficiency wage model with skill differentials incorporated. We perform simulations to find the Nash equilibrium numerically, and our central results are the following. First, higher-skilled workers...

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...

Since ancient times the practices and ethics of bankers and banking in general have undergone a great deal of criticism. While lending is motivated by profit, and while households are not explicitly coerced into borrowing money, the justice of a system which exploits workers and at the same time...
