How to Improve the Quality and Speed of Green New Product Development?

“…The NPD cycle, speed of promotion and product characteristics are critical to the success of NPD. Syed et al thought NPD speed is becoming an important way for companies to gain market share and meet rapidly changing consumer preferences [38]. Wu et al studied a theoretical account of bricolage effects on NPD speed, and bricolage has a positive correlation with NPD speed under high technology fluctuation [39].…”

“…Wu et al studied a theoretical account of bricolage effects on NPD speed, and bricolage has a positive correlation with NPD speed under high technology fluctuation [39]. The rapid development of new products can give enterprises a market-leading advantage, and the high-quality development can bring good reputation and core competitive advantages [35][36][37][38][39].…”

IT ambidexterity driven patient agility and hospital patient service performance: a variance approach

“…IT exploration can help identify and obtain digital technologies and critical IT skills that contribute to the department's strategic ambitions and plan. Also, IT exploration facilitates hospital departments using new digital technologies to adapt and adjust to changing patients' needs adequately and wishes [13,23]. IT exploitation, on the other hand, focuses more on the deliberate enhancement of current IT resources.…”

“…IT exploitation, on the other hand, focuses more on the deliberate enhancement of current IT resources. For instance, think about reusing or redesigning the current EMR for new patient service development and ensuring hospital-wide accessibility to the clinical patient and medical imaging data and information [1,23]. Furthermore, it enables departments to reuse existing modular and compatible IT-infrastructures and software components and integrate them with their daily business operations and clinical practices [22,38].…”

“…IT ambidexterity is considered a key strategic priority and gained serious attention over the past few years. In practice, the simultaneous alignment of IT resources is crucial in forming digital-driven capabilities [1,4,23], even so in healthcare [24]. However, the imbalance between exploration and exploitation can lead to suboptimal business results [25].…”
