Kietzmann et al. (2013) present a typology of mobile communities of practice and contextual ambidexterity. This study aims to explore how communities of practice are mobilized and how mobility affects the communities of practice (CoPs). The authors conducted a study with seven CoPs in a variety of industries, which revealed five types of mobile CoPs: the virtual, bridge, internal, network, and external CoPs. The article also suggests a new concept called "contextual ambidexterity," which is the ability to balance the tension between an organization's core business and innovation. The authors provide managerial implications and future research directions. Keywords: communities of practice, mobility, contextual ambidexterity.
