Mechanisms for Managing Ambidexterity: A Review and Research Agenda
Abstract
Ambidexterity is of central importance to the competitive advantage of the firm, yet to date there is limited understanding of how it is managed. The theorization of ambidexterity is inadequate for complex, practical realities and, in turn, this hinders the way in which it can aid the management of ambidexterity in practice. This paper asks: What are the mechanisms for achieving ambidexterity? The authors use a systematic review to develop a research framework which integrates intellectual capital resources (organizational, social and human capital) across various levels of analysis (organization, group and individual). This review extends understanding of the generic mechanisms (i.e. temporal, structural and contextual ambidexterity) that dominate the literature. This allows for a more fine‐grained understanding of how ambidexterity is achieved and enables avenues for further research to be identified.

“A cooperative (exploitative) approach to SC uses dense social networks, for example, established teams with strong ties; whereas an entrepreneurial (exploratory) approach uses a network of weaker ties to seek new knowledge (Burt, 1992; Granovetter, 1973; Hansen, 1999; Reagans and McEvily, 2003).”

“He and Wong, 2004) may be achieved by trading-off other aspects, whereas achieving multiple, potentially contradictory, objectives can be understood in terms of ambidexterity (Geraldi et al., 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
