A Systematic Review of Digitalization and Organizational Ambidexterity Practices in GCC Countries

In the era of instantaneous technological advances, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have detected a significant surge in digitalization efforts across various industries. As organizations in the GCC region strive to embrace digital transformation, organizational ambidexterity becomes crucial. This proposed paper aims to conduct a systematic review that synthesizes existing literature on the intersection of digitalization and organizational ambidexterity in the context of the GCC countries. The SPAR- 4-SLR technique was used in the systematic analysis, which offers a methodical framework to assist researchers in conducting systematic literature reviews and substantiating the choices made during the review procedure. The synthesis will be based on rigorous analysis of 10 peer-reviewed articles about the GCC region published during the last ten years to ensure a well-rounded understanding of the subject.The research findings aim to provide a theoretical framework that integrates digitalization and organizational ambidexterity concepts within the unique context of GCC countries. Then, the results will offer actionable insights for organizations to navigate the challenges and opportunities associated with digitalization and organizational ambidexterity. Finally, the findings suggest potential policy interventions that can support and facilitate the integration of digital technologies and ambidextrous practices in the GCC business environment.
