| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We researched the process of building organizational capability that enables diversification based on scientific knowledge, focusing on suplliers as the subject of analysis. Our analysis focused on case examples of successful diversification from the automotive and electronics components into medical equipments. The result indicate that suppliers have achieved "contextual ambidexterity," an organizational capability that simultaneously pursue "exploration" and "exploitation" of knowledge. They enhance their organizational capability by forming and strengthening a wide range of "weak ties" and overcoming the three obstacles of technology, regulation, and market, to succeed in the medical equipment business.
