“…The latter addresses exploitation – the leverage of current routines and preexisting knowledge that results in organizational refinement (Curado and Bontis, 2006). Ambidextrous organizations can engage in both exploitation and exploration to ensure their current returns and future viability (Levinthal and March, 1993), yet such a balance is not easy to reach (Curado and Bontis, 2011) and requires organizational flexibility (Rotmans, 2019). Dynamic capabilities contribute to ambidexterity, since their deployment may combine exploitative and explorative elements (Randhawaa et al , 2020).…”

PurposeIn this work, the authors address a gap in the literature on the contribution of dynamic capabilities and internal contingencies to performance in a highly competitive environment.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use data from the Premier Football (soccer) League in Portugal over ten years. This league works as a laboratorial setting and enables the authors to identify the influences of the variables in the study.FindingsThe authors find evidence that human capital is decisive to a team's performance. This study’s findings question the role of the alignment between the different levels of the organization: strategic, tactical and operational.Research limitations/implicationsWith this work, the authors stress the importance (1) of using alternative scenarios in management research and (2) of the way that human and social capitals and managerial cognition and internal contingencies influence the development of knowledge-based dynamic capabilities, especially in highly regulated industries such has sports clubs.Practical implicationsThis work provides evidence on the importance of strategic coherence at different structural levels of the organization. Furthermore, it highlights the need to secure the right resources at the right time.Originality/valueThe authors propose a setting to run the study: a crystal market and an original measure of performance that reflect the relative achievement of market potential.

“…Felin et al , 2012; Felin et al , 2015) on microfoundation sources and interactions have inspired us. It is equally important to recognize the microfoundations of ambidexterity that occur at the individual level (Pertusa-Ortega et al , 2019; Rotmans, 2019).…”
