Toambidextrous? Management without structure

Abstract

Paradoxes are present and persistent in organisations, regardless of their size, and must be managed not eliminated. Tech Open Air is facing challenges that a start-up has in the growth stage: high ambitions but little structure in their management. An ambidextrous approach in the organisation, learning to exploit the present and explore the future simultaneously will allow them to succeed and fulfil their objectives. If it succeeds, Tech Open Air will be able to adapt in new markets, react quickly to new opportunities, nevertheless create alignment within internal resources and existing operations. If it does not, it risks financial sustainability and therefore its future.
