New GIBS article: The impact of IT ambidexterity on organizational agility: The mediating role of organizational change capacity. by Rawat, W., & Barnes, J.
Organizational agility (OA) is recognized as a vital capability for competitiveness in dynamic business environments. While IT capabilities are acknowledged as a potential source of OA, there is limited research on the agility-enabling role of IT ambidexterity (ITA), which is the dual pursuit of IT exploitation and IT exploration. In particular, the influence of ITA on market capitalizing agility (MCA) and operational adjustment agility (OAA), which are key agility dimensions, remains unexplored. Although prior work has argued that intermediary organizational capabilities may be required to translate IT capabilities into OA, no previous studies have considered the role of organizational change capacity (OCC), in the ITA-OA relationship. To address these gaps, we draw on the dynamic capability view and the IT-enabled agility literature to examine the relationships between ITA and MCA, OAA, and OA, and propose that OCC mediates these relationships.
