Ambidexterity is a company's capability to manage operations and strategy simultaneously and effectively, facilitating innovation and adaptation to market changes. Companies must be able to maintain operational efficiency and stability while also innovating and adapting to market dynamics. Ambidexterity enables companies to manage operations and strategy effectively and efficiently while at the same time, facilitating innovation and adaptation to market changes. This leads to an increase in company performance, such as increased revenue, increased market, and increased operating efficiency. It is also necessary that there are several mediating variables, such as effective supply chain collaboration, supply chain management, and innovation capability, which influence the relationship between supply chain ambidexterity and firm performance. This study aims to determine the extent to which ambidexterity can influence supply chain performance and how the role of lean and agile supply chains mediates the relationship between these variables. The research method used in this study is a quantitative approach. The number of samples analyzed in this study was 225. The results of the study concluded that ambidexterity helps companies to overcome pressure to optimize short- and long-term performance, maintain agility and flexibility in adapting to changes in the business environment. Studies on ambidexterity and supply chain performance have shown that ambidexterity can help directly optimize supply chain performance but can also amplify the positive impact of practices such as lean supply chain and agile supply chain. The implications obtained from the findings are that companies are expected to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness and have the ability to adapt to environmental changes and market demands.

Tribal heritage in Jharkhand holds immense potential not just as a cultural asset but as a foundation for sustainable, community-led entrepreneurship. This paper examines the major issues that can help the tribal societies transform their cultural heritage into legitimate business enterprises. Based on the domain, the study makes use of the Best-Worst Method (BWM) to rank significant enablers. It applies Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) and MICMAC analysis to discover the structural relationship between them. It is indicated that although the availability of natural resources, indigenous knowledge, and governmental support serve as the foundations of tribal enterprise, psychological preparedness and market access are the key factors in the long-term development. Interestingly, cultural values and education are also discovered as highly ingrained factors that determine an entrepreneurial intent and sustainability. The paper illuminates the multifaceted nature of the problems tribal entrepreneurs have to encounter, such as geographical remoteness and the changing demands of consumers, but also shows the opportunity to interfere by making specific changes. Through mapping of these enablers and their linkage, this study will provide a practical framework to be used by policymakers, NGOs, and local stakeholders to enable and expand tribal entrepreneurship in Jharkhand. Finally, it promotes the model of development in which cultural pride and economic empowerment must go hand in hand.

Global supply chains are navigating ever more volatile and rapidly evolving conditions driven by technological innovation, geopolitical risks, environmental challenges, and changing customer requirements. Hence, conventional methods that focus on efficiency and cost reduction along the supply chain are not enough to stay competitive. In this context, an important strategic capability has emerged – the ability to be flexible, innovative, and adaptable, as well as efficient, standardised, and cost effective: supply chain ambidexterity. Notably, the extant literature on the relationship between SC ambidexterity and organizational performance have been scattered and segmented in various theoretical and operational viewpoints. To sum up previous research published between 2015 and 2025, this study used Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA 2020 framework. A total of 34 peer-reviewed journal articles were included after screening and eligibility process both from Scopus and Web of Science database. The results reveal that supply chain ambidexterity has matured from a trade-off between exploration and exploitation, to a broader dynamic capability that is complemented by digital integration, resilience, analytics capability and organizational learning. Five key themes were found: conceptual foundations, lean–agile integration, digital technology enablement, performance outcomes, and environmental uncertainty. Organizations that are able to effectively blend efficiency with flexibility appear to have experienced an overall positive impact on their operational performance, innovation, responsiveness, resilience, and competitive advantage, according to the studies. Furthermore, some research gaps have been identified during the review, and future research recommendations are provided that could contribute to further research on the link between SC ambidexterity and OR performance.
