The statistical population of the study was CEOs or board members of NTBFs. fourteen CEOs or board members of NTBFs located in the University of Tehran and University of Qom science and technology parks entered the interview process using purposeful sampling and observing the principle of theoretical saturation as a sample. In this study, the thematic analysis method was used to extract themes.

In this study three layers of signs of the need to strategy change had been discovered for example Change in customers' attitudes and lifestyle, the emergence of new and creative technologies (macro environment); The emergence of disruptive products and increasing the attractiveness of the income and financial level of the industry (industry environment); Weakness in leadership and project management, weakness in supply chain management (internal factors).

Achieving ambidexterity requires relying on alliances based on value chain performance, such as exploratory research and development alliances or exploitation-commercialization alliances. Based on this, in this research, the impact of supply chain ambivalence on company performance is analyzed with emphasis on the moderating role of network capability and strategic information flow.

The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of nature. The statistical population of the research included 1000 employees of small and medium companies in Kermanshah province. The number of samples was selected using Morgan's table, 278 people. The research tool was a questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through construct validity and its reliability through factor loading, composite reliability coefficient, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient.

The results of data analysis showed that the supply chain ambidexterity has a negative effect on financial performance. Also, the effect of supply chain ambidexterity and financial performance of small and medium companies is moderated by network capabilities.

In order to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage, small and medium-sized companies should pay enough attention to network capabilities to reduce the negative effects of supply chain ambivalence on company performance, as well as the flow of strategic information to increase the effect of supply chain ambivalence on company performance.
