| Abstract
|
:
|
Key for successful knowledge management is a balance between exploration and exploitation. Exploration means the generation of new knowledge in non-targeted search processes, while exploitation denotes the use of existing knowledge in targeted exploitation processes. The relationship between the two processes is one of fundamental tension; this poses a challenge to organisations which seek to make their knowledge management effective. There is a danger that exploration is neglected in favour of exploitation. This results in an organisation which lacks innovation capability. In order to preventTatjana-Xenia Puhan demonstrates that ambidexterity need not necessarily be implemented in one single organization but can also be realised in a network of associated organizations. She develops the concept of think tanks as organizations which concentrate on radical innovations while their network associates exploit this newly generated knowledge commercially.
