ABSTRACT: Under the background of innovation-oriented development strategies, innovation is a crucial resource for enterprises to maintain competitive advantages. Exploratory and exploitative innovations, serving as pivotal means to bolster corporate renewal capabilities and enhance external adaptability, have increasingly garnered attention from both academic and practical realms. This paper conducts a comprehensive literature review of Ambidextrous Innovation, encompassing both domestic and international perspectives. From a theoretical standpoint, it systematically organizes the antecedents, mediators, moderators, and consequences of Ambidextrous Innovation, thereby constructing a structured framework of existing research findings in this domain. This framework serves as a valuable reference for future studies in the field.
