Abstract
Modern organizations are confronted with the dilemma of ensuring effectiveness and efficiency in management
of current operations while at the same time adapting to the dynamics of business environment for future
viability. Achieving a balance in this paradigm requires organizations to be ambidextrous. Research on
ambidexterity is inconclusive with studies giving divergent and even contradictory results particularly on the
configuration and conceptualization of the dimensions of ambidextrous learning and their effect on
organizational performance. This paper, therefore, makes a critical review of literature on the linkage between
ambidextrous learning and organizational performance and proposes a conceptual framework and research
methodology for future research.
