Elena Krause-Söhner explores how the dynamics of organizational ambidexterity can be managed in complex organizations. This is a relevant question as today’s organizations and the individuals within them face the challenge of focusing on short term improvements while simultaneously targeting long-term innovation in a dynamic environment. Drawing on a practice-based perspective and the view of organizations as socially constructed and constantly changing entities, organizational enacting and constructing change activities are investigated based on profound conceptual and empirical base in an industry and service context. This book derives implications for both the theoretical discourse and for practitioners.
