Abstract

This paper presents an integrative framework examining the relationship between ambidextrous innovation, organizational resilience, and high-quality development in contemporary enterprises. Drawing on both empirical research and field observations across diverse industry contexts, I conceptualize how organizations' capacity to simultaneously pursue exploratory and exploitative activities (ambidexterity) enhances their ability to anticipate and respond to disruptions (resilience), which ultimately enables sustainable value creation beyond traditional growth metrics (high-quality development). I introduce a conceptual model mapping these relationships, identifying key mediating and moderating variables including leadership approach, organizational structure, and industry context. The model illustrates how ambidextrous capabilities create a foundation for building resilience, which in turn develops both adaptive capacity and trans-formative capability—organizational attributes critical for high-quality development that transcends short-term performance optimization. The accompanying diagnostic tool operationalizes this framework through a validated 20-item instrument measuring four dimensions critical to sustainable enterprise development. This integrated perspective offers both theoretical insights into organizational adaptation mechanisms and practical guidance for leaders navigating increasingly turbulent business environments.
