Abstract

T

The objective of this study is to present a framework composed of Strategic Planning, Strategic Behavior of Piauí's MSE managers, and Organizational Ambidexterity in local productive arrangements settings. This is an exploratory, descriptive, and propositional study. The definitions related to strategy, behavior and ambidexterity are presented and directors or professionals of the top management of companies registered in the ALI Program (Local Innovation Agents), developed by SEBRAE/PI, were analyzed. The proposition of a framework to analyze the Organizational Ambidexterity of MSEs can be considered a methodological and theoretical contribution of the research, aiming at the validation of theoretical paradigms, in order to contribute and expand studies to the existing theories on Organizational Ambidexterity. In a practical perspective, the research contributes to the improvement of the actions of governmental agencies of small businesses and of the MSEs themselves in the sense of improving the process of elaboration and execution of the Strategic Planning and, consequently, in the increment of the Organizational Ambidexterity.
