An organism’s (or organization’s) directed search (especially the search for function) supplies a key mechanism for realizing adjacent possibilities and new niches.

However, relatively little work has examined processes by which organizations can achieve exploratory search.

Knowledge search processes in the origination of outlier patents abstract considerable research has shown that organizations tend to rely too heavily on exploitative relative to exploratory search.
