This study focuses on absorptive capacity and learning orientation as critical factors affecting the effectiveness of innovation ambidexterity. Drawing upon a sample of 70 Taiwan electronics and information companies, the study presents arguments and formulates hypotheses concerning learning orientation initiates the self-reinforcing of learning which will have positive effect on the incremental product innovation than radical product innovation. We employ potential absorptive capacity and realized absorptive capacity play a role of reducing the self-reinforcing nature of learning that limitation in some superior fields. Results show that when firms focused on learning orientation, the interaction of potential absorptive capacity and realized absorptive capacity didn’t enhance radical product innovation and lead the firm achieves incremental product innovation. These results suggest that electronics and information companies need to continuously challenge old assumptions and promote the firm receive external knowledge proactively that can prevent the firm focus on some fields and suffer from competency trap.
