THE AMBIDEXTROUS ORGANIZATION: EXPLORING THE NEW WHILE EXPLOITING THE NOW

Book ID/图书代码： 08296015B82507

English Summary/英文概要： How can businesses balance the different demands of both exploiting and exploring? Organizations and their leaders have to use both hands: on the one hand making next quarter’s targets through existing business, whilst simultaneously exploring new opportunities.

Mega-trends such as ageing populations, mobile technology and renewable energy are creating new opportunities for innovation that require links and convergences between industries, and leaders have to face the challenge of steering their organizations through this unchartered territory. Traditional management approaches will not work: both leaders and their organizations have to be geared towards ambidexterity. This is the first book to truly explain how to harness the power of this approach to encourage innovation.

With examples from Nespresso, Daimler Benz, Zurich Financial, Intel, and industries such as packaging, pharmaceuticals, telecoms, this book identifies key challenges around: organizational perspectives; individual leaders; internal processes and culture at both the organizational and individual level. The second part provides solutions, including linking corporate and individual development; external scouting; purposeful convergence engineering; creating appropriate partnerships and approaches to managing risk.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 企业应该如何平衡挖掘和探索的不同需求？组织和他们的领导必须两手都抓——一方面通过现存业务实现下一季度的目标，一方面同时探索新机会。

各种巨大的变化，诸如人口老龄化、移动技术、可再生能源正在为跨行业创新提供全新的机会，领导们不得不面对挑战，开拓新疆域。传统管理方式将不再管用，领导及其组织必须学会走双元性路线。本书是第一本详细解释如何利用双元性（ambidexterity）的优势鼓励创新的作品。（LYR）

’Jens does a masterful job of defining the ’ambidextrous organization’ that can manage the paradoxes of individual competencies and organization capabilities, managing culture as a shared mind-set and personal behavior, and leadership as personal abilities and organization capabilities. This book offers ideas with impact and can be useful in defining organizations as bundles of capabilities more than structure.’ -Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor of Business, University of Michigan; Partner, The RBL Group "Many company leaders want innovation and profitable growth without changing the way they’ve operated for years. Other leaders want to rapidly explore new business opportunities without nurturing established practices that ensure financial and operating stability. Jens Maier helps us see-in this insightful and accessible book-how to do both in order to lead effectively." -Jeff Semenchuk, Chief Innovation Officer, Hyatt Hotels Corporation ’Jens Maier’s erudite and entertaining book explains how companies - and individuals - can use ’both hands’ to exploit existing competitive advantages and explore new ones. It is a commendable blueprint for tomorrow’s corporate world.’ -Prof. Eric Cornuel, Director General and CEO, EFMD ’Executives around the world and across industries are challenged to make innovation decisions in an environment often characterized as ’digitization’. This book offers practical insights for executives on how to frame the challenges and to develop solutions for both their organizations and their own leadership careers.’ -Zeger Degraeve, Dean, Melbourne Business School
