Abstract

En 中文
• Configurational study of IT ambidexterity and IT alignment components for agility. • Unveils interdependencies between exploitation/exploration in IT/business domains. • Complementarity between IT and business explorative capabilities for high agility. • Substitution between IT and business exploitative capabilities for high agility. • Contingent (positive/negative) effects of IT exploitation upon other capabilities. • Four propositions for future research capture the three types of interdependencies. • Explains why certain IT misaligned and non-ambidextrous firms achieve agility. • Reconciles past inconsistent findings. • Demonstrates more pathways to agility than current literature. • Prevents theoretical overdetermination. • Provides insights beyond current research on IT ambidexterity and IT alignment.
