Today, the success of many companies in a turbulent environment is an improvement in the access and processing of information to develop the capabilities of innovation. In the meantime, knowledge sharing activities and culture have a special and important role that can have an impact on innovation. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of collaborative culture and knowledge sharing on the information systems and innovation ambidexterity in small and medium enterprises. The philosophy of the research is positivism, the approach is deductive, and the strategy is surveying. Therefore, after reviewing the literature and designing the conceptual model, a questionnaire consisted of 29 questions presented to a sample of 322 SMEs staff and managers. Then, the data were gathered and analyzed by AMOS software through correlation matrix, structural equation model and fitness test. The results indicate the knowledge sharing and the collaborative culture impact on the information systems ambidexterity and innovation ambidexterity. On the other hand, it became clear that the collaborative culture also affects knowledge sharing behavior. In addition, the effect of information systems ambidexterity on the innovation ambidexterity was also confirmed. Manuscript profile

In order to gain competitive advantage and better performance, despite focusing on current requirements of customers firms should discover and meet the future demands. Therefore, ambidexterity should be considered as an essential factor in gaining competitive advantage. On the other hand, the combination of two factors of dynamic capabilities and entrepreneurial orientation can lead to innovation and, ultimately, better firm performance. Therefore, in the study, the effect of entrepreneurial orientation and dynamic capabilities on firm performance with mediating role of innovation ambidexterity was investigated. The present research is in the field of applied research in terms of purpose and it is a descriptive-survey research in terms of the nature and method of data collection. The statistical population of the research is production of protein products, canned meat and non-meat products in IRAN. The sampling method is unpredictable and available. 80 managers were analyzed as samples. Data analysis was performed using the structural equation method by Smart-PLS software. The results show that ambidexterity improves corporate performance. Also, the tendency to entrepreneurial orientation and dynamic capabilities has a significant effect on ambidexterity. But the role of ambidexterity mediation was not confirmed by the impact of dynamic capabilities on firm performance. The achievements of this research are suggested to managers. Finally, the results along with suggestions for future research are presented. Manuscript profile

Export is one of the most important economic activities in the success of firms that has attracted attention of researchers and strategists. This attention is because of the convenience in using this strategy in entering in other international markets and due to benefits of export in development firms. This has motivated firms to acquire export knowledge and train it in their companies in order to guarantee their successful performance in expert. Ambidexterity is an approach that can be effective in terms of creating export knowledge. Ambidexterity, (with two dimensions of exploitation and exploration) in export companies, helps organizations to use export knowledge more effectively and efficiently, in other words ambidexterity can help export companies acquire learning capabilities as a learning organization. As a result, this learning capability can lead to more proper new products in competition. This paper investigates the effect of innovation ambidexterity on export knowledge and new product performance. In literature section we reviewed export and competition in international markets, innovation, export knowledge and competition power, ambidexterity and its dimensions and new product development. After reviewing the literature, we created a model based on the literature and experts views. Experts verified our model and the proposed hypotheses after some discussions. Our proposed model shows that ambidexterity and its dimensions has a positive effect on export knowledge and an effect on export performance while export knowledge has a positive effect on export knowledge.
