In a recent publication in Communications of the AIS, SCDI faculty members Lidija Polutnik and Johan Magnusson expand on the role of inefficiencies in the enactment of ambidexterity. The paper reports on the case of a transformation initiative of new product development in an automotive manufacturer, a case where the researchers were instrumental in decreasing inefficiencies. Through a secondary analysis, the findings show that the decrease in inefficiency may hold negative implications for the long term success of the firm.
