Building up an “ambidextrous innovation” ability, and more specifically in increasing focus on explorative production innovation, is important to balance production development efforts and obtain sustainable development of production. This paper aims to provide a conceptual framework for “ambidextrous production innovation” that conceptualizes and highlights phenomenon characteristics from exploitative and explorative perspectives. The conceptual framework describes “production innovation” as the process of either increasing or developing a new production capability, enabling opportunities for new product designs. This process can be either “product-driven” or “production-driven” depending on the primary objective of the development.}, type={Article}, title={A Conceptual Framework for Production Innovation: Expanding and Creating New Production Capabilities}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/127787/PDF-MASTER/art01_corr.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mper.2023.146019}, keywords={Ambidextrous innovation, production development, Production innovation, Process innovation}, }
