Efeito da ambidestria organizacional no desempenho da internacionalização das instituições de ensino superior

Abstract

The phenomenon of internationalization of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is expanding, particularly since the advent of Internationalization at Home (IaH), Internationalization of the Curriculum (IoC), and the urgent need for developing innovation capacity within HEIs to differentiate and expand themselves. In this context, this essay aims to understand the effect of organizational ambidexterity on the performance of internationalization of higher education institutions. This approach develops and defends the relationship between the constructs through a review of existing literature. The intertwining of innovation capacity (organizational ambidexterity) and internationalization performance is evident and perceptible to the existence of a proportion that the more ambidextrous an organization is, the greater the performance of internationalization. The conceptual model investigates the constructs: organizational ambidexterity (exploration and exploitation) and the performance of internationalization of HEIs (teach and research functionsk), structured in a conceptual model interconnected through theoretical proposition.
