Ramesh et al. [28, 64, 65] have characterized the elements of contextual ambidexterity, which guides business units and teams to handle conflicting forces.

Instead should say:

Ramesh et al. [64; 65] highlight competing demands between the tenets of agile and distributedness in ADD projects; whereas an agile setting relies on informal processes to facilitate coordination, distributed settings typically employ formal mechanisms. Our study provides insights beyond this conceptualization of the central conflict in ADD settings. Our research identifies contextual elements that help us characterize the dynamics of these conflicting forces.

This study has implications for the theory of ambidexterity, which has been recognized as a valuable approach to understanding the dynamics of contingencies faced by organizations, business units and/or teams. Gibson and Birkinshaw [28] have characterized the elements of contextual ambidexterity, which guides business units and teams to handle conflicting forces.

On Page 16, Section 6.1, Third Paragraph, line 7:

Ramesh et al. [28, 64, 65] adopted by software teams, we leverage the notion of project context in each ADD setting to derive insights.

Instead should say:

Ramesh et al. [64, 65] suggest practices in the form of formal and informal processes, which give rise to specific mitigation strategies to the conflicting demands. They map these strategies to the well-known antecedents (discipline, stretch, support and trust) of contextual ambidexterity.

Our work builds upon the approaches of the predecessors and specializes it further. Rather than directly focusing on general strategies (cf. [28] adopted by software teams, we leverage the notion of project context in each ADD setting to derive insights.
