Abstract

Economic sustainability has always been a major challenge for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. We propose that the implementation of knowledge ambidexterity (KA) can be a solution for the economic sustainability for SMEs. We take a digital perspective to KA and emphasise that digitalisation efforts can achieve KA to leverage economic sustainability since SMEs face resource constraints, knowledge limitations and concentrated efforts towards exploitation processes in expense of exploration processes. We conducted an intervention-based multi-site case study research with SMEs recruited from India and the United Arab Emirates to investigate how digital technologies can support KA for SMEs. We found that SMEs that embark on digitalisation efforts can develop a strong foundation towards achieving KA. These efforts, in turn, resulted in improved market awareness, competitive advantage and innovation capacity for SMEs, thereby promoting economic sustainability.
