International ambidexterity and firm performance in small emerging economies (2013, background): “In addition, Auh and Menguc (2005) examine the contingent effect of competitive intensity to moderate the balance between exploration and exploitation.”
Intangible assets and performance (2011, background): “It is thus plausible to expect that IC components, as well as the related performance indicators, vary from business to business ( Auh and Menguc, 2005”
Success Patterns of Exploratory and Exploitative Innovation (2013, background): “Because they often have high synergies with the existing product portfolio, economies of scale and scope increase profit margins and therefore positively affect profitability and operational efficiency (Auh & Menguc, 2005).”
Technological Collaboration in Product Innovation: The Role of Market Competition and Sectoral Technological Intensity (2012, background): “The moderating role of market competition Market competition is a key environmental factor that provides a firm both the inducements and challenges to collaborate (Harrgian, 1988; Auh and Menguc, 2005; Wu and Pangarkar, 2010).”
Implications of customer and entrepreneurial orientations for SME growth (2013, methodology): “An explanation for this might be found in theories of resource slack and theories of ambidexterity (e.g., March, 1991; Auh and Menguc, 2005; Raisch and Birkinshaw, 2008; Voss et al., 2008).”
Do corporate sustainability practices enhance organizational economic performance (2015, background): “In contrast, a concentration on exploitation without exploration discourages the organization from pursuing learning and development (Auh and Menguc, 2005).”
Organizational and competitive influences of exploration and exploitation activities in small firms (2014, methodology): “Similarly, Auh and Menguc (2005) observe that as competition intensifies the outcomes of firms' decisions are not certain and difficult to predict.”
Building innovation capability: The role of top management innovativeness and relative-exploration orientation (2017, positive): “Consistent with previous studies (e.g., Auh & Menguc, 2005; Uotila et al., 2009), relative-exploration orientation is defined as the extent to which top managers are more willing to adopt exploration orientation than exploitation orientation.”
Disentangling the antecedents of ambidexterity: Exploration and exploitation (2018, background): “A key research stream in scholarship on ambidexterity has examined the antecedents of ambidexterity and their interactions (Auh and Menguc, 2005; Jansen et al., 2006).”
A portfolio perspective on entrepreneurship and economic development (2015, positive): “Industries vary in their failure rates, how labor intensive and mature they are, their relative levels of market saturation and competitive intensity, and the nature of any entry barriers (Auh and Menguc 2005; Bates 1995; Brush and Chaganti 1999).”
Organizational Ambidexterity: Past, Present, and Future (2013, background): “In his view, exploitation was about efficiency, control, certainty and variance reduction, while exploration was about search, discovery, autonomy and innovation.”
Exploration and Exploitation Strategies, Profit Performance, and the Mediating Role of Strategic Learning: Escaping the Exploitation Trap (2012, neutral): “However, this choice may result in firms focusing only on the near future, thus weakening the probability that long-term investments and opportunities will be realized through strategic learning (Auh and Menguc, 2005), leading to core rigidity (Leonard-Barton, 1992).”
Service innovation and performance in SMEs (2012, background): “Few studies have examined the influence of these factors against the effectiveness of exploration and exploitation innovation, including Auh and Menguc (2005) and Jansen et al.”
