description This study reviews extant literature on ambidextrous mechanisms, contingencies impacting the relationship between organisational learning activities and performance, and aggregation issues in studying ambidexterity. The review identifies a largely neglected factor by the extant literature in determining and clarifying the relationship between ambidextrous organisational learning and firm performance, namely, intra-firm distribution of organisational learning activities. Building upon the literature review, this study recommends future research directions associated with the intra-firm distribution of organisational learning activities to advance our understanding of firm strategic deployment of ambidexterity.
