Application of Ambidexterity in Technology Innovation Management: A Literature Review

Rui Zhang

Abstract

This paper aims to explore key theories in technology innovation management, including ambidexterity, the tragedy of the commons, the negative spiral, and the knowledge spiral, and analyze their practical applications in management. By balancing exploration and
exploitation, effectively managing public resources, avoiding negative spirals, and dynamically managing knowledge, firms can achieve
continuous innovation and competitive advantage in complex and rapidly changing environments. This study integrates research from various
scholars to provide valuable theoretical foundations and practical guidelines for technology innovation management.

Keywords
