Resumen

En el contexto de una crisis económica y financiera caracterizada por una escasa munificencia y una alta incertidumbre, examinamos el papel de la ambidestreza organizacional en la supervivencia de las PYMES, y las características de TMT y de propiedad que influyen en la ambidestreza. Nuestro análisis de las pymes manufactureras españolas en el contexto de una crisis económica internacional sugiere que: (1) la supervivencia de las empresas está asociada con la ambidestreza; (2) la diversidad en la tenencia de TMT mejora la ambidestreza de la empresa y (3) existe un efecto negativo entre propiedad familiar y ambidestreza, pero (4) existe un efecto positivo entre propiedad familiar y supervivencia. Este estudio contribuye a nuestra comprensión de los antecedentes de la ambidestreza de las PYME al proporcionar un modelo teórico que combina los argumentos de la teoría de los escalones superiores con los encontrados en la investigación de empresas familiares que ofrece una visión ampliada de las élites corporativas en las PYME. Nuestra investigación destaca y brinda apoyo a la superioridad de la ambidestreza para la supervivencia bajo restricciones externas (crisis) e internas (PYMES).
