Book excerpt: In strategic management and organizational theory, organizational effectiveness denotes the broadest domain of business performance. "What is the optimal structural configuration for organizational ambidexterity and to what extent is it contingent upon firm type?" To answer this research question, this study employs a two-step approach. In the first step, Sebastian Kortmann determines a structural configuration that generally supports organizational ambidexterity. Then, in a second step, he draws upon structural contingency theory and investigates to what extent this optimal structural configuration is dependent on firm type. ​

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s companies in diverse industries perceive increasing competition and an accelerating pace of change. To cope with these challenges, they need to leverage their current competencies and exploit existing products and services, while simultaneously build new capabilities to develop innovative solutions. Therefore, instead of selecting and maintaining a focus on either efficiency or flexibility, these firms balance resource allocation and become so-called ambidextrous organizations. W. Henning Blarr analyzes this balancing act, requiring the ability to simultaneously pursue both incremental and discontinuous change. He shows that compared to organizations focusing on either exploitative or explorative activities, ambidextrous organizations significantly obtain higher levels of financial performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years, a number of well-known firms have failed; think of Blockbuster, Kodak, or RadioShack. When we read about their demise, it often seems inevitable—a natural part of "creative destruction." But closer examination reveals a disturbing truth: Companies large and small are shuttering more quickly than ever. What does it take to buck this trend? The simple answer is: ambidexterity. Firms must remain competitive in their core markets, while also winning in new domains. Innovation guru Clayton M. Christensen has been pessimistic about whether established companies can prevail in the face of disruption, but Charles A. O'Reilly III and Michael L. Tushman know they can! The authors explain how shrewd organizations have used an ambidextrous approach to solve their own innovator's dilemma. They contrast these luminaries with companies which—often trapped by their own successes—have been unable to adapt and grow. Drawing on a vast research program and over a decade of helping companies to innovate, the authors present a set of practices to guide firms as they adopt ambidexterity. Top-down and bottom-up leaders are key to this process—a fact too often overlooked in the heated debate about innovation. But not in this case. Readers will come away with a new understanding of how to improve their existing businesses through efficiency, control, and incremental change, while also seizing new markets where flexibility, autonomy, and experimentation rule the day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, , language: English, abstract: The overarching goal of this qualitative review study is not only to review the relevant literature, but also to organize, structure and integrate findings in order to gain a better understanding for what ambidexterity really is and ultimately to give managerial guidance. The following three research questions will be particularly addressed throughout the study: What is the current state of the art of the ambidexterity concept? What are the underlying problems that result in stagnation in research progress in this field? How can managers learn from the ambidexterity research? The study is divided in three main parts. Part I, Praeludium, gives a basic understanding for the importance of this topic (chapter 1), illustrates the general underlying concepts, and shows a short historical retrospect of the research field’s development (chapter 3). In part II, A comprehensive overview of the current ambidexterity research field, the relevant literature is reviewed and the field’s structure analyzed (chapter 4). Further, the tension of the exploration-exploitation integration will be discussed (chapter 5) and an extensive model that interconnects the most relevant influencing and moderating factors on ambidexterity and firm performance will be developed (Chapter 6). Based on these executions, dysfunctional underlying concepts and deficits of the literature field will be outlined in chapter 7. Hereafter, in the final part III, Implications of the thesis, at first practical implications for managers (chapter 8) and implications for science (chapter 9) that prevail from the thesis, are given. At the end, limitations as well as avenues for future research (chapter 10) are outlined. These three parts are constitutive and can be logically connected as seen in figure 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategies of enterprises evolve with the development of strategic management theory and new concepts, models, and outlooks that emerge with it. The concept of ambidexterity is a relatively new approach to business development strategies, which involves simultaneous exploration and exploitation activities to ensure the success of the company and a relatively sustainable competitive advantage. This begs the question as to whether the ambidextrous strategy is the right choice for all enterprises, and if not, what determines its choice. This book identifies and systematizes antecedents for choosing ambidextrous strategy, including factors related to the uncertainty of the environment, its dynamics, complexity, and unpredictability, intra-organizational factors, those related to resources, organizational structure, and behavioral context, as well as those related to strategic leadership. It examines the outcomes of implementing ambidexterity from the perspective of financial and market performance and assesses the choices of companies operating in Poland from the perspective of the impact that particular antecedents had and the outcomes achieved, providing knowledge and guidance on the circumstances in which choosing the ambidextrous strategy brings the best results. The book presents the research findings to date, the cognitive gaps that still exist, and the directions for further research. It is intended for scientific circles, doctoral and management students and a wide range of managers, who have to make difficult strategic choices aimed, on the one hand, at increasing the efficiency of the company and, on the other, at seeking new paths of growth.
