  ABSTRACT: We examine the case of agile ambidexterity, which we conceptualize as the organizational capability to simultaneously deploy agile and traditional linear innovation and development methodologies successfully. The utilization and balance of these methodologies is an increasingly important firm capability that can foster growth, sustainable development, and firm survival in a digitized environment. Specifically, we develop four propositions suggesting how structural differentiation, connectedness, and contextual ambidexterity affect agile ambidexterity. We conjecture that structural differentiation, connectedness, and contextual ambidexterity mechanisms have positive effects on agile ambidexterity, but that structural differentiation has a negative influence on connectedness. We highlight important theoretical and managerial implications.
