In response to the recent rapid technological and market changes, the importance of the design of ambidextrous organization has been increasingly emphasized as one of the dynamic capabilities. Firms that show a high performance in the rapid technological and market changes appear to design and implement ambidextrous organization successfully. They have achieved both exploitative competence for continuous innovation with product development and exploratory competence for discontinuous innovation with new market and new technologies. We have examined why and how to design and operate ambidextrous organizations and the effects of ambidextrous organizational characteristics on the performance from structural, contextual and leadership perspectives. We conducted case studies on 3 Korean firms that showed different characteristics of industrial product, company size, etc. Longitudinal case studies exhibit different processes of design and operating ambidextrous organization according to innovative strategy and industrial characteristics.

The fourth industrial revolution and creative economy are in the center of today's economic environments. In this context, venture companies make great efforts in achieving innovative capability for sustainable growth. Especially, in order to create the innovative capability or innovation performance, they are very much interested in obtaining such characteristics of organizational ambidexterity as exploration and exploitation. Thus, this study aims to study the organizational contextual ambidexterity as a key factor to create SMEs' performance and to conduct an empirical research with the data collected from domestic SMEs in order to find the antecedent and consequence of this ambidexterity. In so doing, we selected as an antecedent of contextual ambidexterity quality management practice, which is an innovative method of enterprise innovation and enterprise level, innovation performance (radical and incremental Innovation performance) as a consequence and ran a series of regression analyses. As a result, quality management practices such as quality circle activities have had positive effect on organizational ambidexterity, that is, exploration and exploration, and contextual ambidexterity has affected positively on innovation performance. It is also found that the contextual ambidexterity plays a full mediating role in the relationship between quality management practices and innovation performance. The results of this study suggest that contextual ambidexterity is essential to achieving organizational innovation performance and quality management activities such as quality circle should be preceded in order to stimulate or stimulate contextual ambidexterity.

This study discusses some features observed in Korean credit card industry, which is classified as a two-sided market. First, I summarize six characteristics or conditions that two-sided markets possess by reviewing related literatures, and consider if we can find out those peculiarities in Korean card industry. Second, this study casts light upon the unique issues which have not been handled in previous studies, that is another two-sidedness in mature two-sided markets. In the context of credit card industry, this additional two-sidedness is created by specific consumers group existing in entire consumer group in a card firm as a form of subset and specific partnering merchants group offering special benefits to their subset consumer group, or alliance card holders. This concept gives new idea that there could be multiple two-sidedness especially in mature two-sided markets, which will be significant to platforms' pricing strategies and expand the scope of related studies.

Ambidextrous innovation is defined as the innovation capacity to pursue simultaneously both exploration and exploitation. Based on the organization learning and innovation management literature, the ambidexterity hypothesis predicts that ambidextrous innovation would enhance firm performance. This study attempts to verify the ambidexterity hypothesis in the context of TV drama production industry. TV drama producers' ambidextrous innovation is conceptualized as the simultaneous pursuit of exploratory and exploitative approaches in selecting genres of dramas. Data collected from 57 drama producers in 714 Korean TV drama projects between 1994 and 2009 support the ambidextrous hypothesis. The interaction between exploratory and exploitative approaches in genre selection is indeed positively related to the drama performance in terms of the viewing rate. Such results suggest that managers ought to manage high levels of both exploratory and exploitative innovation simultaneously in order to cope with increasing uncertainty, especially in highly uncertain cultural industry.

Ambidexterity in organizations, in general, is interpreted as flexibility that enables organizational innovation, which is important for survival in a competitive market. It applies to individual workers as well since the ambidexterity of explorational and exploitational IS use will enable the flexible transition between dynamic and operational work, and hence, increase the work performance. The current study will therefore investigate the individual levels of exploratory and exploitative IS use, as well as the complementary relationship between exploratory and exploitative IS use. In a third step, the differential influence of IS on work performance will be evaluated. The current study validated that complementary fit of IS use exploration and IS use exploitation increases performance. Polynomial regression and surface analysis are used to validate the incongruence of IS use pattern. They showed that the incongruence of ambidexterity is composed of two types of divergent vs. convergent ambidexterity which depends on the type of work that need dynamic or operational capability.

현대사회는 인문학을 향하여 양면성을 보이고 있다고 생각된다. 한편으로는 현대 사회에 드리워진 어두운 모습을 보면서 인문학이 어떤 희망을 보여주어야 한다고 기대하면서, 다른 한편으로는 현대사회가 이미 돌이킬 수 없을 정도로 다원화되고 양화되고 사물화되어 버린 현실에 대해 인문학이 무엇을 제공할 수 있을까라는 의문을 품는 것이다. 소위 '인문학의 위기'라는 것은 사회가 인문학에 대해 가지는 양면성 안에 배태되어 있다고 보인다. $\ulcorner$표현인문학$\lrcorner$(생각의 나무, 2000년, 421면)의 공동 저자들(박이문, 유종호, 김치수, 김주연, 정덕애, 이규성, 최성만)은 사회의 양면성을 이중성으로 간주하지 않는다. 오히려 이 양면성을 심각한 과제로 인식하여 그 기대와 의문을 인문학이 성취하고 풀어야 하는 반성의 계기로 선택한다. 이 책은 그러한 과제를 향한 하나의 서설이다. 하나의 가능한 방향을 나타내고자 한 것이다. 공동 저자의 한 사람으로 이 책의 개요를 네 개의 명제로 제시하고자 한다.

어쨌든, OEM사료는 위에서 지적한 대로 양면성이 있다. 그러나 분명한 것은 OEM사료가 지속적으로 성장하려면 기존사료회사와 같이 비슷한 수준의 사료품질 모니터링, 농가기술지도 체계구축 등 조직화가 필요함을 강조하고 싶다. 그렇지는 않겠지만 일시적으로 돈이나 벌어야 하겠다며 품질관리 소홀로 농가에 피해를 주는 행위는 금해야 할 것이다. 축산업을 오케스트라에 비교한다고 해도 과장된 일이 아닐 것이다. 공통점은 조화다. 오케스트라에서 여러 연주자가 서로 다른 악기로 조화를 이루듯이 축산업계에서도 사료, 사양기술, 질병제어기술, 모든 것이 조화를 이루어야 한다. 양면성을 지닌 OEM사료, 올바른 방향으로 건전한 발전을 하길 기대한다.

There has been a stream of literature studying moderators of the relationship between organizational ambidexterity and firm performance, but there remains a lack of research on moderators with a strategic perspective. We examined the effect of organizational ambidexterity on a firm's long-term performance and the moderating effect of a firm's relative exploration and exploitation based on a sample of 8,916 firms. We found a positive relationship between organizational ambidexterity and long-term performance measured by Tobin's q. The results also suggest that a firm's relative exploration positively moderates the relationship between organizational ambidexterity and long-term performance, whereas exploitation negatively moderates this relationship. We contribute to the current ambidexterity literature by integrating it with strategy literature. We found that the positive relationship between organizational ambidexterity and long-term performance is enlarged and long-lasting when a firm is a differentiator. In contrast, this positive relationship is lessened and short-lasting when a firm is a cost-leader.

This study analyzed the 2017 human capital corporate panel data provided by the Korea research institute for vocational education. We examined the mediating effect of ambidexterity innovation on the relationship between employee training and organizational commitment. In addition, we examined the moderating effect of organizational communication between employee training and ambidexterity innovation. The hypothesis test results are as follows. Hypothesis1. Ambidexterity innovation has been shown to partially mediate the relationship between employee training and organizational commitment. Thus, Hypothesis1 was partially supported. Hypothesis2. Organizational communication has been shown to play a positive moderating role in the relationship between employee training and ambidexterity innovation. Thus, hypothesis2 was supported. Based on the empirical results, we suggest implications for academia and practical avenues.
