Effects of Standardized Innovation Management Systems on Innovation Ambidexterity and Innovation Performance

The goal of this research is to investigate the effects of standardized innovation management systems (SIMSs) on innovation ambidexterity and innovation performance and further on innovation capability. A survey was conducted in Türkiye with 178 manufacturing companies. The PLS-SEM method was used to test the hypotheses by using SmartPLS 4.1.0.2 software. The results show that SIMSs have a positive effect on innovation ambidexterity, innovation capability, and innovation performance. In addition, the results confirm a positive relationship between innovation capability and innovation performance, innovation ambidexterity, and innovation performance. According to research results, companies should follow ISO 56002 principles as a standardized innovation management system to achieve innovation ambidexterity, innovation capability, and innovation performance. This is the first known paper investigating the effect of SIMSs on innovation ambidexterity empirically. This research has provided a new link between the newly developing SIMSs and the innovation ambidexterity literature. Therefore, this study contributes to the development of the SIMSs from this perspective.
