Abstract

   Organizational ambidexterity is an important frontier field of management research in China and an important horizon to explore the management problems in emerging economic countries for the international academic community. However, there is few high-quality literatures that systematically combs the knowledge network and dynamic evolution trend of it in the Chinese context. There is a lack of in-depth comparison and analysis of the similarities and differences of the relevant studies in China and abroad. The landmark achievements, academic groups, research hotspots and dynamic evolution have not been presented scientifically.    The study collects the Chinese contextual organizational ambidextrous research papers from CSSCI and the core database of Web of Science,using bibliometrics and scientific knowledge mappings, and from both domestic and foreign dimensions systematically answers the three questions of "what kinds of academic groups in China and abroad have been formed", "what influential research results have been produced" and "what kind of thematic change rules have been shown". Besides, the similarities and differences between Chinese and abroad studies are also analyzed, which would be helpful for promoting China′s organizational ambidextrous research to the international forefront.    The research results are as follows:First, Chinese researchers can be classified into ambidextrous innovation, cooperation network, and ambidextrous leadership, etc., while foreign researchers can be classified into hybrid strategies, human resource management, and social capital, etc., and the domestic research mainly focuses on technology innovation, knowledge management,internationalization, informatization and leadership behavior, etc., while the foreign studies mainly focus on the economic transition, emerging economies and the application of traditional Chinese management culture; Second, the articles of Jiao Hao, Wang Fengbin, Wei Jiang, Cao Q, Wang CL, Lin HE, Atuahene-Gimak and other authors are the landmark literatures in the field, and the distribution of achievements is consistent with the characteristics of the academic communities;Third,the research hotspots and knowledge evolution trends are different between China and abroad, with the international communities pay close attention to human resource practice, social capital, consolidation and merger, etc., while the domestic scholars pay close attention to top management team behavior integration, network relation, and open innovation,etc., in addition, some of the Chinese and foreign research topics are overlapped, some of them appear successively, and some of them grow separately, for example, foreign research on market orientation, dynamic capability, and transformational leadership is ahead of research in China, while research on absorptive capacity in China is ahead of the foreign research, and on the whole, there are more research topics in China than abroad, showing stronger ductility.This study for the first time connects the academic groups, representative literatures and research trends at home and abroad, which objectively reflects the global knowledge network of the organizational ambidextrous research in the Chinese context, responses to Luo Jinlian′s question about whether the domestic and foreign ambidextrous studies are consistent and the academic thinking on "how to promote the dialogue between Chinese studies and world studies", complements the shortcomings of previous studies in the Chinese context and dynamic evolution analysis, and puts forward the future research directions, which would help scholars think more deeply about the uniqueness of the duality problems in Chinese management from the perspective of global management innovation, and promote the Chinese studies to the world by integrating the East and the West.
