The paradoxical association between Exploration and Exploitation. A diagram illustrating how Exploration and Exploitation are both antagonist and complementary. Line 1, at time t: Exploration and Exploitation are opposing to each other. Line 2, at time t: Opportunities emerge from Exploration, while Income results from Exploitation. Line 3, at time t+1: Opportunities from previous line enable Exploitation, while Income from previous line enables Exploration. Source: Lavie et al. (2010). Exploration and exploitation within and across organizations. Academy of Management annals 4.1, 109-155. Logo: ablivio.
Exploration and Exploitation are both antagonistic and complementary. Today's exploration creates the opportunities that will be exploited tomorrow, while today's exploitation provides the income that will enable tomorrow's exploration.
