Summary: The conceptual dichotomy between exploration and exploitation in innovation management has gained attention, but the rationale for separating them is questionable. Exploration and exploitation may actually be inextricable from one another in managing innovation activities. This challenges the assumed dichotomy and suggests that accepting their interconnected nature can lead to a more comprehensive framework for managing innovation.

Summary: Blended ambidexterity seems to be a necessity for large firms in the financial sector; driving the development of sector-specific innovative capabilities requires top-down reforms and bottom-up reactions; current taxonomies of ambidexterity should be reinterpreted as stages in a long-term process of transition.

Summary: This study adopts Cameron and Quinn's analysis of organizational culture and March's learning framework to analyze the impact of different types of organizational culture on learning competences and performance. The results show that adhocracy, hierarchy, and market culture have a positive relationship with excellent results. Hierarchical culture develops exploitation competences while market culture develops learning ambidexterity. Furthermore, exploration and exploitation competences improve results, and these two cultures indirectly influence results through exploration and exploitation competences. Market orientation and process control are also important for implementing the EFQM model and achieving excellent results.

Summary: The challenge for firms is to balance exploration and exploitation, which have opposite natures. Recent studies suggest that firms can overcome this challenge by combining their exploration or exploitation capabilities with partnerships of the opposite type. However, little is known about how accumulated capabilities affect firms' partnership selection. Our study examines this question using a unique dataset on new product development in the Brazilian manufacturing sector. Contrary to expectations, our findings show that increases in any type of capabilities are associated with exploration partnerships. We discuss alternative explanations, implications, and future research directions.

Summary: The study explores the effects of disclosing exploration and exploitation information on cost of equity capital, drawing on information risk theory and paradox theory. Findings suggest that market values exploitation information more, but rewards R&D-active firms for exploration disclosures. Additionally, combined disclosure is negatively associated with cost of equity capital, with R&D-active firms benefiting more from synergies of both types of disclosure.

Summary: Collaboration between universities and industries can enhance university innovation, but the type of collaboration and strategy selection play a crucial role in influencing the innovation outcomes. Active collaboration exploitation and exploration strategies contribute positively to university innovation, while combining ambidexterity with proactive search may result in more pronounced negative consequences.

Summary: Simultaneous exploration and exploitation help firms meet short-term environmental requirements and ensure long-term environmental sustainability. However, these activities compete for resources and time, posing challenges to organizational practices. This study examines the interaction between business analytics and ambidextrous capabilities in achieving environmental value. Two mechanisms are identified: a BA-powered context shaping mechanism at the employee level and a BA-powered resource linking mechanism at the intra- and inter-organizational levels. The study also highlights contextual factors that influence the balance between exploration and exploitation, and introduces a new dimension of sustainability outcomes called eco-awareness.

Summary: This study investigates how and when strategic conformity impacts corporate innovative performance by integrating the institutional and optimal conformity literature. The results show that strategic conformity has an inverted U-shaped effect on innovative performance, with the relative exploitative dimension mediating this relationship.

Summary: Despite the globalised innovation environment, research on the geographic dimension of organisational ambidexterity, especially international dimension, is limited. This study conducts a systematic literature review and proposes a conceptual framework to bridge the gaps and guide future research. The results reveal the importance of strategic approach, entry mode, and environmental factors in determining and influencing exploration and exploitation activities in an international context.

Summary: This study investigates uncertainty modeling in wind power forecasting using different parametric and non-parametric methods. Johnson's SU distribution is found to outperform Gaussian distributions in predicting wind power. This research contributes to the literature by introducing Johnson's SU distribution as a candidate for probabilistic wind forecasting.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
