- Description
- This paper adopts sport as an analogy for business to understand the role of the dynamic capability of ambidexterity in hypercompetition. Ambidexterity refers to the ability to undertake explorative and exploitative innovation simultaneously. The sport of Australian Football League (AFL) has been selected as a constrained but live and real dynamic system to illustrate important elements of ambidexterity in hypercompetitive environments. This paper makes more concrete the abstract theoretical concepts such as dynamic capabilities, and provides practical insights as to the value of ambidexterity in extremely competitive markets.
