چکیده

مقدمه و هدف: دانشگاه‌ها در عصر حاضر جهت حفظ پویایی و پاسخ‌گویی به تحولات، نیازمند رویکردهایی نوین مانند دوسوتوانی سازمانی هستند که بر بهره‌برداری از ظرفیت‌های موجود و اکتشاف فرصت‌های نو تمرکز دارد. این پژوهش با هدف شناسایی مولفه‌های اصلی دانشگاه دوسوتوان با رویکرد توازن میان بهره‌برداری و اکتشاف، در راستای ارتقاء مدیریت راهبردی در دانشگاه‌های جامع انجام شده است.
روش‌شناسی پژوهش: این پژوهش براساس هدف کاربردی و به علت تازگی موضوع با رویکرد کیفی و روش مطالعه موردی انجام شده است. موردِ مطالعه دانشگاه‌های جامع ایران بوده‌اند. جهت جمع‌آوری داده‌ها، به صورت هدفمند و با کمک تکنیک گلوله برفی با مدیران خبره آموزش و پژوهش دانشگاهی مصاحبه نیمه ساختاریافته انجام گرفت که پس از 14 مصاحبه اشباع نظری حاصل شد. تحلیل مصاحبه‌ها با روش تحلیل مضمون انجام گرفت و تطبیق نتایج با یافته‌های کتابخانه‌ای، رواسازی و درصد پایایی بازآزمون و پایایی بین دو کدگذارِ قابل قبول بر اعتبار یافته‌ها صحه گذاشت.
یافته‌ها: پس از تحلیل مضمون مصاحبه‌ها، در بخش بهره‌برداری 6 مضمون اصلی (14 مضمون فرعی) شامل سیاست‌های دانشگاهی، ساختارهای دانشگاهی، تعامل دانشگاه و صنعت، توسعه آموزش و پژوهش، مالی و بودجه، فرهنگ دانشگاهی و در بخش اکتشاف، 6 مضمون اصلی (12 مضمون فرعی) شامل نیازسنجی و آموزش، ساختار و فناوری آینده نگر، بودجه و منابع مالی، سیاست و فرهنگ نوآورانه، مدیریت استراتژیک، پژوهش و آینده‌پژوهی استخراج گردید. همچنین 6 راهبرد جهت موازنه بین بهره‌برداری و اکتشاف در دانشگاه در قالب 2 مضمون اصلی 1)سیاست و ارزیابی و2) منابع و ساختار، معین و نتایج در قالب مدلی اکتشافی ارائه گردید
بحث و نتیجه‌گیری: مدل دوسوتوانی دانشگاهی این پژوهش، راهکاری راهبردی جهت تلفیق بهره‌برداری عملیاتی و نوآوری آینده‌نگر در مدیریت دانشگاه‌های جامع ایران است. این مدل با تأکید بر توازن بهره‌برداری–اکتشاف، مسیر توسعه در نسل پنجم دانشگاه‌ها و طراحی راهبردهای بلندمدت پاسخگو به تحولات محیطی را فراهم می‌سازد.

چکیده [English]

Background and Objective: This study aims to enhance strategic management in comprehensive universities in Iran by identifying the key components of an ambidextrous university model. This model strengthens dynamism, quality, and responsiveness to change through a balance between exploitation and exploration.
research methodology: A qualitative research design was employed, focusing on comprehensive universities in Iran. Data were collected through purposive semi-structured interviews with experienced academic managers in education and research. Theoretical saturation was achieved after 14 interviews. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the data, and the findings were validated through triangulation with literature, acceptable test-retest reliability, and inter-coder agreement.
Findings: Thematic analysis revealed six main themes (with 14 sub-themes) in the exploitation domain: university policies, academic structures, university-industry interaction, development of education and research, finance and budgeting, and academic culture. In the exploration domain, six main themes (with 12 sub-themes) were identified: education and assessment, futuristic structures and technologies, financial resources, innovative policies and culture, strategic management, and future-oriented research. Additionally, six strategic approaches for balancing exploitation and exploration were categorized under two main themes: (1) policy and evaluation, and (2) resources and structure. These results were synthesized into an exploratory model.
Conclusion: The proposed ambidextrous university model integrates operational efficiency with forward-looking innovation, offering a strategic framework for transitioning to fifth-generation universities. By balancing exploitation and exploration, it facilitates strategic decision-making and enhances performance optimization in university management.
