Abstract

Ambidextrous innovation, defined as an organization’s capacity to simultaneously pursue exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation, serves as the core driving force for the high-quality development of enterprises. Based on existing studies, this paper explores the mechanisms among ambidextrous innovation, organizational resilience, and the high-quality development of enterprises from the dynamic perspective of the enterprise life cycle. The findings indicate that both exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation positively influence the high-quality development of enterprises. Moreover, at different stages of the enterprise life cycle, the effects of exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation on the high-quality development of enterprises are different. Organizational resilience partially mediates the relationship between the two dimensions of ambidextrous innovation and the high-quality development of enterprises. This study can help enterprises enhance the scientific and effective implementation of ambidextrous innovation activities in the context of coexisting crises, while also providing theoretical guidance and practical implications for their high-quality development.
