<p>The study investigates the relationship between organizational ambidexterity and agility of manufacturing firms in Rivers State, Nigeria.The ability of an organisation to swiftly adapt to changes in the environment, respond to customers’ needs, innovate continuously, has been a contending issue to manufacturing firms on how to navigate the complexities of the current business operations. This problem necessitated this research project that enabled theunravelling of the influence of ambidexterity with respect to exploitation of existing capabilities and exploration of new opportunities in a dynamic business environment.Some research questions and hypotheses were advanced. The cross-sectional survey was used and a population of 389 managers and supervisors from 16 manufacturing firms was studied. A sample size of 191 managers and supervisors were drawn using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) Table. The simple random sampling technique was employed and structured copies of questionnaire was utilized in gathering data for the study, with response rate measured on a 4-point Likert scale. Data generated were analysed using Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient. The findings revealed a correlation between the dimensions of ambidexterity(exploitation and exploitation) and the agility of the manufacturing firms. The study concluded that a relationship exists between ambidexterityand the agility of manufacturing firms in Rivers State. The study therefore recommends that for manufacturing firms to swiftly adapt to the complexities of business environment, respond to customers’ needs, and innovate continuously,these firms in Rivers State shouldbe more committed to exploration of new opportunities and exploitation of existing capabilities in order to be competitively advantageous in the dynamic business environment.</p>
