In the present context, firms are witnessing dramatic shifts in the competitive landscape with intensified competition and increasing commoditization of offerings. Consequently, firms are struggling with finding ways to organize themselves to be both product leaders while also getting closer to their customers. They must simultaneously also be cost leaders while also being on the cutting edge of innovation. How do organizations deal with these seemingly competing sets of demands and organize themselves to tackle these competing demands and do so successfully in a global context? Most organizations have struggled with the matrix structures they have created in response to these conflicting demands. In this paper I will discuss how some organizations are building ambidexterity to tackle these competing pressures.
