Theoretical Framework—Towards a Dynamic Multi-level View of Organizational Ambidexterity

Abstract

Part 2 introduces the theoretical framework, including the definition, origin, and development of the concept of OA as well as the understanding and contextual embedding of the organization, leadership, and change through which the main concept of OA is perceived and defined. Part 2 aims to guide the reader’s actual ideas and beliefs about the phenomenon being studied, as the “system of concepts, assumptions, expectations, beliefs, and theories that supports and informs your research”; it refers to a “tentative theory of what is happening and why”.
