Michiel P. Tempelaar

Dr. Michiel P. Tempelaar is an Associate Professor of Strategy & International Business at the University of Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics and Business. His research focuses on how organizations balance exploration and exploitation—so-called organizational ambidexterity—by examining top-management-team reflexivity, social capital, reputation, and most recently artificial intelligence.

Research interests

• Organizational ambidexterity and strategic renewal
• Top-management-team reflexivity and paradoxical cognition
• Social capital, networks and reputation effects
• Multi-level strategic behaviour (individual, team, firm)
• Impact of artificial intelligence on individual learning orientations

Across more than 30 peer-reviewed works (2007-2024) Tempelaar has advanced a behavioural-strategy view of ambidexterity, moving from structural antecedents to micro-foundations at individual and team levels, and lately to AI-enabled learning.
