Abstract
Despite growing research recognising the role of digital capability in enabling innovation strategy and outcomes, we know little about how firms can effectively adapt to shifts in innovation paradigms caused by digitalisation by leveraging digital platform capability to attain innovation ambidexterity. Drawing on dynamic capability theory (DCT), this study explores the influence of firms’ digital platform capability on innovation ambidexterity by analysing a sample of 312 Chinese manufacturing firms. We find that digital platform capability has a positive effect on innovation ambidexterity via the mediating role of strategic flexibility. Market turbulence positively moderates the relationship between digital platform capability and strategic flexibility. These findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms by which digital platform capability influences innovation ambidexterity.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Business Research aims to publish research that is rigorous, relevant, and potentially impactful. It examines a wide variety of business decision contexts, processes, and activities, developing insights that are meaningful for theory, practice, and/or society at large. The research is intended to generate meaningful debates in academia and practice, that are thought provoking and have the potential to make a difference to conceptual thinking and/or practice. The Journal is published for a broad range of stakeholders, including scholars, researchers, executives, and policy makers. It aids the application of its research to practical situations and theoretical findings to the reality of the business world as well as to society. The Journal is abstracted and indexed in several databases, including Social Sciences Citation Index, ANBAR, Current Contents, Management Contents, Management Literature in Brief, PsycINFO, Information Service, RePEc, Academic Journal Guide, ABI/Inform, INSPEC, etc.
