Abstract
From view of ambidexterity theory, this paper studied the base, impetus and characteristics for industry-university-institute cooperation entity to achieve ambidexterity crossing boundaries, and discussed the causes and obstacles of ambidexterity ability construction in Industry-University-Institute Cooperation. We found that there should be distinct knowledge process and ambidextrous mode in China different cooperation forms and if industry-university-institute cooperation entities explored comparative advantages of each other, they should supply suitable factors according to different ambidextrous mode.
Highlights
Nowadays, the development environment of enterprises becomes dynamic and complex
Heterogeneous team members, the consensus of exploration and development, smooth information exchange and joint decision-making behavior can promote integration and improve Ambidexterity of the organization (Lubatkin, 2006, pp.646-672; Simsek, 2005, pp. 69-84). These three types are the most frequently mentioned in ambidextrous organization, and they are all achieving ambidexterity through the different business units or organization level in the same organization, what's more they stressed the importance of all the executive teams
The ambidextrous models that an organization used could be adjusted over time (Raiseh, 2009, pp.685-695).With future research, some scholars believe that the exploration and the development can be achieved through the network relationship or different alliances (Lavie, 2006, pp.797-818; Michel Ferrary, pp. 181-192).Some scholars begun to empirical analysis of ambidexterity in strategic alliances and inter-company network. (Tiwana, 2008, pp.251-72; Im, 2008, pp:1281-1296)
Summary
The development environment of enterprises becomes dynamic and complex. In order to adapt, the enterprises should develop the ability of using the existing knowledge, and need to explore new technical knowledge and develop new products to build the capacity for future development (Simsek, 2009, pp.597624). Ambidexterity of the Organization is a research focus of the management science in recent years and becoming widely used in strategic alliances, technological innovation, new product development, market development and other research areas. This theory is likely to become a main research paradigm (Raiseh, 2008, pp.375409). A few studies put emphasis on the cross-organization or use the ambidexterity theory to study the Industry-University-Institute Cooperation. This paper attempted to provide a new research perspective and a new interpretation for study of Industry-University-Institute cooperation with ambidexterity theory, and some policy proposals for the promoting of the cooperation and innovation were made
