7INTRODUCTIONAmbidexterity is that situation where the person will be able to equally adapt use of bothright and left hand while doing their daily task such as typing, surgery, playing sports,musicianship and juggling (Turner, Swart and Maylor, 2013). While refereeing to organisationambidexterity means need of company to balance exploitation and exploration in this developingcompetitive advantages which is not that much easy to achieve in current practices. This currentassignment analyses will be done based on Match Box Architects Design Partnership Companywhich highlights concept of ambidexterity. This will show that it is very much important andessential for organisation to balance productivity and creativity or innovation efficiently. MAIN BODYFor this changing environment it is very important for any firm to be very muchcompetitive with their use of latest technology, creativity and innovation along with increasingand improving productivity of current workers of firm (Tarafdar and Gordon, 2007). This willhelp company to serve their customers with complete efficiency, delivering them better goodsand services and achieving the competitive advantages. However, it is very much tough forcompany to achieve both of them by involving innovation and considering how to improve theproductivity among workers and managers.Match Box Architect (MBA) is a creative company which believes in creating beautifulengineered buildings in way of shaping the future of British architecture. They value in inspiringthe whole coming generation of social and ethical responsible design so that future generationcould be motivated (Eisenhardt and Martin, 2000). This company will be focusing on area ofambidexterity which is an ability to be able to explore and exploit business situation. This is asper the perspective of information system, leadership and an operation so that all levels of MBAis able to support ambidexterity. Their aim and vision of company is to provide integrity ofactivities with help of expert decision makers so that they are all in way of ethical and alignmentwith their professional code of conduct. They will be developing process which helps them tomake their project with use of expertise knowledge and guiding through completion of project.According to the view of Pieterse, Van Knippenberg and Stam, (2010) ambidexteritymeans balancing of work within organisation in combination of improved productivity andincluding innovation into working. There will be many points which company require toconsider at this time like resources that will be required, machinery used, type of training and

7motivation required and management. there will always be problem when company is adoptingboth these exploration and exploitation as if the worker is working at long hours then he couldnot ensure efficiency in his work. As per Zhou, Fang and Hua, (2018) exploitation includestraining, development, motivation, selection and choice of production of all employees. While onother hand Tai, Wang and Yeh, (2018) included that exploration means research of somethingwhich help company to improve their use of machinery and technology like creativity,innovation and risk taking. It is rather included that exploitation will only help company in its short term benefits inway of sacrificing the long term performance. Moreover this is only when Match Box Architectis not able to adapt all changes and modifications which its market environment is having. Theyare in making efforts of improving efficiency of producing design which is exploring and sellingtheir products and service which is exploiting. As per the view of Uhl-Bien and Arena, (2018) itis required that company is focusing on both these terms of explore and exploit which is therequirement of market. As if they are having excessive focus on exploration which is that oninnovation company will not be able to look above their workers.This means that organisation is only working upon its innovation and not on how toimprove quality of worker which lowers down their performance. But then there is argumentwhich is put forward by Garaus, Link and Müller, (2016) that there is one major basic issuewhich company will face is that of how to lower down cost, improve efficiency of workers alongwith incorporating innovation into work. Within the concept of ambidexterity which isconsidered combination of exploitation and exploration requires differentiated structure,capabilities, culture and strategy all these will impact performance of firm and that of individualsas well.There are many research on this topic of ambidexterity within business which includes atvarious different levels of organisation like that of structure, operation, leadership, firmperformance and information system. This includes that how resources of organisation will beused in process of ambidexterity which means balancing both creativity with more efficient workof employees. Ambidexterity in operationsIn context with Huang, Baptista and Newell, (2015) it could be said that all sectors andindustries need to work into such an environment that help them to delivery best form of goods
