There has been relatively little research conducted on the examination of performance of public-private partnerships (PPPs). Our understanding of conceptualizing the performance of PPPs, such as patenting, licensing, spin-in or/and spin-off ventures remains rather unclear. Following the literature on organizational design theory and organizational ambidexterity perspective, this study intends to clarify that interorganizational coordination mechanisms can increase the performance of PPPs through knowledge exploration and knowledge exploitation, yet, the direct effects will be mitigated by public-private organizational cultural differences. Through the university-industry research collaborations, the current study will examine the performance of PPPs via a series of interviews implementing different sources of respondents, such as the public/national university’s top management, faculty members, and graduate students, and a private firm’s top executives, project directors, and project engineers. Through this richer explanation, we contribute to a greater clarity and better understanding of how ambidextrous organizations coordinate the knowledge exploration and knowledge exploitation which can successfully promote the performance of PPPs, while also responding to public-private organizational cultural differences. |
