O'Reilly of Stanford University and Professor Michael L. Tushman of Harvard University has become a guide for "creating innovation," the most important challenge for mature Japanese companies. What was discussed in that book was the balance between "knowledge exploration," which is the activity of broadening one's own and one's company's perception far and wide in business, and "knowledge exploitation," which is the activity of deeply digging into and refining it. We will introduce the necessity and examples of practicing "Ambidextrous Management" to address the difficult problem of realizing sustainable innovation faced by industry-leading large companies. We will also explain how to balance "knowledge exploration" and "knowledge exploitation" and how to achieve it, including specific methods and examples from Astamuse. *This lecture is a recorded broadcast of a past webinar video. ▼Recommended for those who: - Have research themes but cannot find a starting point for deep exploration. - Find it difficult to gain new research theme ideas from patent and paper data. - Are looking for clues to explore new technological applications. - Want to concretely imagine potential applications as they proceed with research and development. - Feel challenged in identifying new research themes aligned with business strategies. ▼Event Outline [Title] Ambidextrous Management Seminar ~Challenges and Solutions for Realizing Knowledge Exploration~ [Date] May 20, 2026 (Wednesday) 12:00-13:00 [Method] Zoom [Participation Fee] Free [Target Audience] Corporate executives, intellectual property managers, R&D departments, corporate planning, and new business development personnel. *Please note that participation from competitors or those outside the target audience may be declined.
