Managing sequential ambidexterity in the electronics industry: roles of temporal switching capability and contingent factors

Researchers on organisational ambidexterity have proposed several solutions to address the potential conflicts between exploration activities and exploitation activities. Unlike simultaneous ambidexterity, sequential ambidexterity – defined as temporal switching between exploration and exploitation – has not been examined fully, and the conditions under which this temporal switching can be successful are unclear. This paper proposes the concept of temporal switching capability to better understand the process by which sequential ambidexterity is executed. In addition, we hypothesise that performance effects are contingent upon firm-specific factors: a firm’s business strategy and absorptive capacity. Utilising three sources of data – a secondary database, annual reports and a survey administered to 145 firms in the electronics industry with 10-year observations – we find support for our hypotheses. The results show that the temporal switching capability positively relates to new product performance and that business strategy type and absorptive capacity have moderating effects. The results are meaningful in both theory and practice.

应用型本科信息系统分析与设计教学改革实践

针对信息系统专业在培养人才过程中存在的专业理论知识、技术方法与分析解决实际问题之间普遍脱节的问题,本文在分析信息系统分析与设计这门课程在专业培养过程中的作用和地位的基础上,根据作者多年来在该课程教学中所取得的经验,提出强调管理理念在信息化实施过程中的作用,结合案例分析、小组讨论、角色模拟和课程综合设计等多种形式的教学方式进行教学。这一方式在实践中起到了良好的教学效果,对信息系统专业的人才培养与定位有一定的参考价值。     

艺术设计教学中实战课题把握能力分析

课题设计的实战训练模式是高校艺术设计专业中、高年级专业课程教学中实践环节普遍操作的重要训练形式。因此在方案设计展开前,对课题的系统把握能力也就成为课题设计训练成败的先决性因素。本文正是由此进行系统探析学生在具体课题实战训练中,把握课题应着力培养与调度的综合知识能力。

Unpacking the effect of IT capability on the performance of export-focused SMEs: a report from China

Abstract.  Export-focused small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China face a number of barriers to success, two primary ones being the liability of foreignness and resource scarcity. In order to transcend these challenges and be able to survive/prosper in the hypercompetitive international market, where players include large resourceful multinational organizations with experience in varied national contexts, these firms need to develop different organizational capabilities. In this paper, we specifically examine the role of a key organizational capability – information technology (IT) capability – and its different dimensions, in determining performance of export-focused SMEs in China. Our study reveals that IT capability has a positive impact on such firms' performance. This finding indicates the need for their owners/managers to invest in IT capability. Further, the study also highlights specific sub-dimensions of IT capability that export-focused Chinese SMEs should (or should not) develop, so as to derive maximum performance-related gains for the minimum amount spent on IT.
