| Summary: | Recent organizational ambidexterity studies have discussed the importance of
achieving a balance between exploration and exploitation. However, existing studies have
not distinguished the detail of exploitation, this study breaks down exploitation into
repetitive exploitation and incremental exploitation. Our study contributes to
ambidexterity studies by analyzed the impact of the combination of this two exploitation
and exploration in firm performance. Using Japanese video game industries' 674
observations from 1997 to 2019 as panel data analysis, like the existing studies, we proved
that firm performance is increased when exploration and exploitation balance is achieved.
At the same time, we found that firms with a lower exploration had higher performance
when the rate of incremental exploitation was high. The results of our study suggest that
even when the firm's ambidexterity is imbalance, different results can be expected when
the details of exploitation are considered. |
