Summary: Organizational learning is crucial for organizations to enhance knowledge levels and adaptability. This study suggests that accelerating codification and slowing down socialization can improve organizational knowledge in stable and closed systems, while moderate system openness is beneficial in stable environments. Environmental turbulence negatively affects organizational knowledge, with temporary adjustments to socialization and codification in closed systems. System openness can help mitigate the negative impact of environmental turbulence on organizational knowledge.

Summary: In this study, a sample of publicly listed Chinese companies was used to explore the relationship between managerial myopia and ambidextrous innovation investment. The results revealed that managerial myopia has different effects on exploratory and exploitative innovation investment, with a significant negative association found for exploratory innovation investment. Further analysis showed that economic policy uncertainty weakens the negative influence of managerial myopia, while companies with more severe agency problems experience a stronger negative impact. This research contributes to the literature by shedding light on how managerial myopia affects enterprises' ambidextrous innovation investment, providing insights into cultivating core competitiveness and ensuring sustainable development.

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: 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: This study examines the impact of makers' innovation motivations and the moderating role of the makerspace climate for innovation on their exploration and exploitation activities in makerspaces. The results show that economic motivation has a positive effect on exploitative innovation but a negative effect on exploratory innovation. On the other hand, social motivation has a negative effect on exploitative innovation but a positive effect on exploratory innovation. The makerspace climate for innovation strengthens the relationship between social motivation and exploratory innovation and exacerbates the negative effect of economic motivation on exploration.

Summary: In this study, we examine the effect of equity incentive on exploratory innovation from the perspective of dynamic innovation decision-making process. Using data from Chinese listed companies from 2006 to 2017, we construct the exploratory intensity of innovation strategy and analyze the impact of equity incentive on corporation's exploratory innovation strategy from both cross-sectional and time-series perspectives. The results show a positive relationship between the vesting period and explorative innovation strategy in the cross-sectional dimension, but a shift towards less explorative and more exploitative innovation strategy after the third period during equity incentive in the time-series analysis. The effect of vesting period is stronger in smaller firms and non-financial crisis periods. Furthermore, the growth rates of innovation output and firm performance decline following the changes in innovation strategy.

Summary: This study explores how founder's prior experience influences international opportunity recognition through the lens of dual network capability, finding that exploration and exploitation capabilities have different impacts on identifying opportunities in changing market environments. Additionally, the analysis shows that younger firms benefit more from network exploration in higher levels of market change, while older firms achieve greater success through network exploitation.
