Abstract

Organizational ambidexterity is an important strategy for firm's survival. Existing research has discovered that TMT and firm characteristics are two influencing factors of organizational ambidexterity. TMT behavioral integration balances strategic conflicts between exploration and exploitation through creating a paradigmatic cognitive framework and processes. TMT diversification creates contradictory cognitive frameworks that can enhance the team's strategic planning capabilities and finally promote organizational ambidexterity. Except that, organizational ambidexterity can also be influenced by organizational foresight, learning capability and innovative culture. Innovative culture can help firms obtain strategic flexibility to adapt to the environment, and further help firms adjust their organizational practices to conflicts originating from ambidexterity.
