- Abstract
Organizational ambidexterity could be defined as the ability of a company to adapt and align its internal capacities to maintain unchanged its competitive edge. One can admit as the basic premise that size of companies, structure, culture and similar all play important role on its ambidexterity. We here approach ambidexterity regarding the size of the company in an attempt to identify changes in emphasis, according the perception of respondents in its function within the company. To do this, we used a sample of 199 respondents in the two first hierarchical levels bottom-up, proportionally distributed among small, medium and large companies. Main results indicate no significant differences in the concept of ambidexterity among respondents. We may conclude also that, in the respondent's perception, there is a clear trend for the alignment only in the small companies and a trend for the equilibrium, between alignment and adaptability, among big companies. This finding shows that only the later ones prove to hold ambidexterity.
