本项目旨在探索动态多变环境下企业如何构建信息技术（IT）双元能力，以增强敏捷性和实现竞争优势。本项目以IT双元能力构建为核心目标，从企业层面，综合应用多案例研究、多主体仿真和实证研究等研究方法，从CIO-TMT知识交互角度研究其通过IT双元能力影响敏捷性的作用机理。研究内容包括：（1）IT双元能力的内涵、构成及动态演化过程；（2）CIO-TMT知识交互基础和机制对IT双元能力的影响；（3）IT双元能力对敏捷性的单独和组合影响；（4）企业IT应用的实践建议。本项目的创新之处在于围绕IT双元能力构建这一理论研究缺乏的问题，从CIO-TMT知识交互视角探索其构建，并研究IT双元能力对敏捷性的单独和组合影响，明确企业IT双元能力构建过程中CIO-TMT知识交互的作用机理。本项目的成果既可以拓展IT双元能力和IT对敏捷性影响的研究，也有助于提高动态多变环境下企业IT应用的成效。

This proposal aims to investigate how to build IT ambidexterity to enhance firm agility and create competitive advantage in hypercompetitive environments. This proposal focuses on firm-wide IT ambidexterity, and empirically examines antecedents of IT ambidexterity from the perspective of CIO-TMT knowledge interaction and its impacts on organizational agility by employing case studies, multi-agent simulation, and large-scale survey. This research intends to (1) analyze definition, dimensions, and state transition mechanism of IT ambidexterity; (2) study effects of both CIO-TMT knowledge interaction foundation and CIO-TMT knowledge interaction mechanism on IT ambidexterity; (3) examine the sole and combined impacts of two dimensions of IT ambidexterity (e.g., IT exploitation and IT exploration) on agility; (4) provide practical guidelines for enhancing agility, building IT ambidexterity, and selecting CIO-TMT knowledge interaction mechanism. The novelty of proposal lies in how to build IT ambidexterity which is understudied in prior literature. By examining the effects of CIO-TMT knowledge interaction on IT ambidexterity and impacts of IT ambidexterity on agility, this project can uncover the underlying mechanism of effects CIO-TMT knowledge interaction on IT ambidexterity and organizational agility. This study is expected to extend the current research on IT ambidexterity and IT-enabled agility, and provide practical guidelines for firms in turbulent environments to plan and implement their information systems.
