Resumo: | It is well known how large firms pursue ambidexterity as a way to overcome organizational inertia. However, this does not apply to small entrepreneurial firms where resources are scarce. This paper examines to what extent a Born Global Firm (BGF) can be considered an ambidextrous organization and what the main drivers of this ambidexterity are. I used a multi case-study comparison research method based on firms’ analyses of a selected number of BGFs. My findings reveal that BGFs can be considered ambidextrous firms and highlight two main determinants for ambidexterity: customer orientation and knowledge-sharing organizational culture. |

It is well known how large firms pursue ambidexterity as a way to overcome organizational inertia. However, this does not apply to small entrepreneurial firms where resources are scarce. This paper examines to what extent a Born Global Firm (BGF) can be considered an ambidextrous organization and what the main drivers of this ambidexterity are. I used a multi case-study comparison research method based on firms’ analyses of a selected number of BGFs. My findings reveal that BGFs can be considered ambidextrous firms and highlight two main determinants for ambidexterity: customer orientation and knowledge-sharing organizational culture. |
