组织二元性:管理研究的一种新范式

Organizational Ambidexterity:A New Paradigm for Management Research

组织二元性已经逐渐成为管理研究中的一种新范式,然而,已有研究对组织二元性的内涵与外延却未能达成共识,基于对不同视角的组织二元性理论框架也略显混乱。基于组织学习、技术创新、组织架构、组织适应等领域相关研究的梳理,组织二元性的内涵与外延得以明确界定。以此为基础,搭建组织二元性跨个体、团队、组织、组织间的多层次研究框架,有利于构建中国的管理理论。

Organizational ambidexterity has become a new paradigm for management research nowadays. However, extant literature indicates that organizational ambidexterity is still undertheorized and underconceptualized, and therefore, there is no agreement about its connotation and extension. By reviewing the relevant literature of organizational learning, technological innovation, organizational architecture and organizational adaption, we try to clearly define the connotation and extension of organizational ambidexterity. Based on the definition, we then build a multi-level framework of individuals, teams, organizations and inter-organizations for organizational ambidexterity, which contributes to the construction of Chinese management theories.
