| In the new economic era, innovation is an eternal topic, as an important way and tool for the states and enterprises to sustain their competitiveness. Nowadays,because of the accelerated changes in market demand, more technological innovation, fiercer competition and shorter product lifecycles, the dynamic and uncertainty of environment and reinforced competition, successful enterprises need to operate current business effectively, also, they must have the initiative to adapt, to explore, and to develop new characteristics for the future. Christensen, C. M.(1997) defined two different paths of innovation. First of all, the maintaining innovation is to make existing products or services better, faster or cheaper in the current market. Although the increase may be difficult or expensive, they apply a range of existing capacity and processes in the known path. Based on the discontinuous changes, the second innovation path may be achived through the technical disruptive ability or business model disruption. What capacity or skills the enterprises need to do such innovation is different with existing; such innovations are often undermining the existing market, which we call this innovative path of disruptive innovation.Now the reseach fields such as strategic management, organizational change and organizational learning have gradually beginning to explore the necessity of holding the balance between disruptive innovations & maintaining innovation activities for enterprises. Enterprises should seek the dual innovation management to implement disruptive innovation and maintaining innovation simultaneously. Correct combination of disruptive innovation and maintaining innovation are complex, and difficult to explain ambidextrous Organization is influenced by which factors which ultimately influence the disruptive innovation & maintaining innovation performance of enterprises; how the enterprises carry out disruptive innovation & maintaining innovation simultaneously? And how to manage the ambidextrous organization? However Existing research so far failed to offer clear answers to these questions, and have generated comparatively little systematic theoretical inquiry or empirical investigation. These issues are the purpose of this paper.The primary innovations of the dissertation are summarized in the following:1, Summarizing the existing theories. The paper introduced the theory of disruptive innovation and the theory of ambidextrous organization, and made a brief comment about these two theories. According to the main research issues of the disruptive innovation theory, the paper contrasted the ideas among the different researchers from concept, the comparison of characteristics, the barrier of implementation, and the different ways of carrying out disruptive innovation and maintaining innovation. The summary of ambidextrous organization theory includes: the background, concepts and definitions of ambidextrous organization theory, how to resolve the innovation paradox based on ambidextrous organization. At same time the paper pointed out the drawbacks about the existing theories and made assumptions about the developing trends in the future.2,Researching on the relevance between the ambidextrous organization and the innovation performance, and the cause of the organization duality from the inside-outside enterprises. Based on the case study and the existing theory, the paper studies the cause and type of the enterprise capacity trap. The paper summarized the cause of the ambidextrous organization, taking the organization duality as intermediary variables,then studied how the ambidextrous organization impact on the performance of the disruptive innovation and maintaining innovation, ultimately many reasonable hypothesizes have been proposed. The paper put forward the environmental turbulence and interfunctional coordination as the cause of ambidextrous organization, and managers perceived market opportunity moderated the effect of the influence. Also organization duality has the positive effect on the performance of the disruptive innovation and maintaining innovation.3,Doing empirical research on the relevance between the ambidextrous organization and the innovation performance, and the cause of the organization dualility from the inside-outside enterprises. Based on theoretical study and hypothesizes, the empirical work including the questionnaire design, the sample selection, multiple regression analysis, the results analysis and exploration.The measurement index of questionnaire design is reference to the existing relevant literature. After the collection of data, the first thing to do was to assess the reliability and validity of the scale. The collected data is analysised by multiple regression analysis, and then combining theory to discuss the results for the purpose of this paper. The results showed that environmental turbulence and Interfunctional coordination had the effect on the exploration and exploitation competence, but the effect on the exploration competence is stronger. When the perceived market opportunity of management is high the positive effect is more significant, and enterprises will invest more on the construction of exploration capabilities. The interaction of the exploration and exploitation competence had more positive effect on the performance of the disruptive innovation and maintaining innovation than only the exploration competence or exploitation competence.4,From the perspective of technology and business model, exploring the management of disruptive innovation and maintaining innovation. Based on the S-curve of technological development, the paper investigated the different innovation management styles according to different technology stages. It especially pointed out how to search the time of technical disruption and technology scanning management. Then based on the value chain, the paper has researched on disruptive business model innovation and maintaining business model innovation management, through optimized combining the value activities of all enterprises options, innovating some of the core activities, then re-arranging and integrating them. With the case studies the paper specially investigated the modes of identifying disruptive business model innovation. Finally the paper put forward the management path of ambidextrous organization, and mentioned the key points during the implementation process.5,Combining the dynamic capability theory and the empirical findings of the paper, and advancing the innovative management framework of the ambidextrous organization. Based on the summary of dynamic capacity theory, the paper probed what the leadership role was in the strategic direction, and how the dynamic capabilities played a role in ambidextrous organization innovation. Learning mechanism is the foundation of dynamic capabilities and innovative, the paper stressed on ambidextrous organizational dynamic learning mechanism. Then using the Samsung Electronics DRAM as the case study to illustrate how ambidextrous organization was being used to upgrade their learning, enhance their ability to explore, and develop the ability to obtain long-term competitive advantage. Eventually, the paper advanced expansion structure of ambidextrous organization, and integration strategies of departments within the ambidextrous organization. 6,Case study. Taking electrical industry of China as the background, this chapter research on cases how the the international large enterprises ABB and newest private enterprises Zhengtai Group management the innovation. Combined with findings of the study, this chapter explored how ABB enhance their flexibility; strengthen their exploration compentence, to obtain sustained growth in the new competition from the perspective of incumbent. On the other hand, this chapter quested development process of Zhengtai through the effective integration of disruptive & sustaining innovation, establishing exploration and exploition competence to an organic, establishing the dynamic learning mechanism from the perspective of disruptor. It povides new evidences and new sight to the enterprises'innovation.Through the theoretical and empirical research on the ambidextrous innovation, it's considered that enterprises which carry out disruptive innovation and sustaining innovation simultaneously will gain immense benefits from it. Enterprises should consider how to create a place which allows for diverse thinking, disruptive creation, and permit competition between old and new concepts.In addition, enterprises have to decide when and how to make the disruptive power take effect. The challenges enterprises face include: keeping an opening mind for the new concept, but never reject the existing concepts too early; keep the bias of changing, but not inclined to maintain the status quo; pursuing the change according the environment dynamic around them.The conclusions of this paper can be more favorable to firms to understand the relationship of innovation and growth from a deeper perspective. Compared with the predecessors'study of disruptive innovation theory and latecomer firm growth, the contribution and innovation of this paper mainly show in four aspects:1. This paper constructed a complete management framework of disruptive and sustaining innvation. Firstly combining the disruptive innovation theory and ambibextrous organization theory, taking ambidextrous as the strategic tool, it enriched theoretical contents and research methods of diruptive and sustaining innvation by theories and method such as game theory, statistical analysis, RVB and value-chain. The current study on ambidextrous organization innovation spreading in technology management, corporate strategy, organizational sociology, psychology, economics and other fields, has not formed a unified framework and it lead inconvenience in further study. First of all, the paper took a detailed literature review, and on the basis of predecessors'work, we redefined the concept of disruptive innovation, sustaining innvation and ambidextrous organization. On this basis, the cause, innovation path and management of ambidextrous organization was deeply analysed. Moreover, exsiting research on disruptive innovation and ambidextrous organization stressed on introduction and summarization, with more qualitative reseach and less quantitative ones, and lacked of characterization and analysis of the management system. This paper used many research methods such as game theory, mathematical statistics, field investigations, multiple regression analysis et al, expanding research content and enrich the theoretical tools.2. This paper put forward the cause----amdidextrous organization capabilities----innovation performance research framework for the first time, taking ambidextrous as the intermediate variable, and explored the cause and effect of the organizational duality.Then it sought the relevance of amdidextrous organization and innovation performance from theoretical and empirical perspective. The empirical study results showed that organizational duality promoted the the performance of the disruptive innovation and maintaining innovation, and environmental turbulence and Interfunctional coordination was the main cause of the development of the exploration and exploitation competence, and that managers'perceived that opportunities or threats would regulate the influence degree of different factors.3. From technology and business model, the paper explored the disruptive and sustaining innovation path management. The existing disruptive innovation management was emphasized particularly on the technology management path; but neglecting the study on business model. Based on the technology-curve and value chain theory, it discussed search of technical disruptive point and the modes of disruptive innovative business model. Innovatively ambidextrous organizational innovation path has been put forward, the key points in the implementation process. Moreover how the organization is to support innovation habits, consumer and market research, and how to share potential opportunities platform has been summed up.4.From perspectives of enterprise to research on innovation management of ambidextrous organization. The theory of dynamic capabilities emphasizes how enterprises to overcome the rigidness, to accelerate innovation and create new rules and the capacity of enterprises as the basis of long-term competitive advantages. In this paper, intergrating dynamic capabilities and the system innovation management framework of ambidextrous organization has been advanced. Moreover with the specific case, the research on organizational learning mechanism, the mode of organization structure and departments coordinated strategy in the ambidextrous organizations has been deeply studied. It provided the empirical basis for theoretical research and specific theoretical and practical operation tool for enterprises. |
