Primes¶
- Absorptive Capacity
This sourceDevelops a contingency view in which process-management activities aid stable contexts but are inconsistent with all but incremental innovation, requiring ambidextrous forms. Bibliography-only (Tier C); not cited in the body.
- Adaptation
- Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
- Adaptive Capacity
- Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
- Ambidexterity (Exploit vs. Explore)
- The temporal or cyclical mechanism (iterating between exploitation and exploration phases) that permits sequential focus while managing competing demands
This sourceArgues that process-management (efficiency/exploitation) metrics are inconsistent with all but incremental innovation and must be buffered from exploratory activity — supports the temporal/cyclical mechanism and the warning that exploration metrics become contaminated by exploitation metrics.
