    El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar algunos de los antecedentes de la ambidestreza organizativa en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (Pymes). La ambidestreza es una capacidad dinámica que permite a las empresas obtener un elevado nivel de desempeño en situaciones que requieren alinearse con el entorno. En el trabajo se defiende que la ambidestreza tiene un componente estructural que la hace depender de los niveles previos de ambidestreza, pero que también tiene como antecedente las opciones de estrategia corporativa de la empresa. Concretamente, se postula que la utilización por parte de las empresas de las modalidades de crecimiento externo, a través de las fusiones y adquisiciones, y de los acuerdos de cooperación, puede ayudar a explicar el nivel y equilibrio de ambidestreza de las Pymes. Esta hipótesis se confirma en el estudio empírico llevado a cabo con regresiones multivariables sobre una muestra de 117 Pymes industriales.

    This study examines the antecedents of organizational ambidexterity in small and Medium Enterprises (SIVlES). Ambidexterity is a dynamic capability that allows companies to achieve high performance in situations where they must adapt to their environment. It is argued that ambidexterity incorporates a structural component, meaning that it depends on previous levels of ambidexterity, but it is also determined by the company's corporate strategy options. Specifically, it is asserted that external growth through mergers, acquisitions and co-operation agreements may help explain the level and equilibrium of ambidexterity in SMEs. This hypothesis is confirmed in the empirical study conducted using multivar-iate regressions on a sample of 117 industrial SMEs.
