Abstract: How firms combine incremental and radical innovation? The ambidextrous model suggests to differentiate exploration units from exploitation units. We show the importance of integration between these entities in outlining the tensions between them. We suggest that integration takes place on a multilevel basis and relies on various mechanisms.
