contents The Collaborative, Ambidextrous Enterprise Paul Adler Charles Heckscher Administración y Contabilidad trust case study ambidexterity Collaborative model This article aims to advance our understanding of the organizational prerequisites of ambidex- terity. Ambidexterity is the ability simultaneously to exploit existing capabilities and to explore new opportunities. Prior research suggests that ambidexterity requires a strong bond of trust among the relevant actors. However, trust can also stifle innovation. We resolve this contra- diction by developing a typology of trust, differentiating the traditionalistic (clan) type from the charismatic, contractual, and collaborative types, and we show how this last, collaborative type supports ambidexterity by its distinctive values (based on contribution to a shared purpose), norms (based on interdependent process management), and congruent authority and economic systems. We illustrate our argument with a case study of Kaiser Permanente, a large health system in the USA. 2013 artículo científico 1698-5117 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=43328679002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=433 Universia Business Review application/pdf Portal Universia S.A.
