This study examined the relationship between knowledge exchange and organisational ambidexterity in insurance companies in Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey research method and a quantitative methodology were adopted in its analysis of the distribution and relationship between the variables within the specified context of the study. The study engaged data generated from 88 workers at the managerial and supervisory level of the insurance and both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were adopted in the assessment of the manifestations and relationship between the variables. Organisational ambidexterity was measured using two measures, exploration and exploitation. A total of 2 null hypotheses were postulated in this study. The null hypotheses were tested using Spearman's rank order correlation coefficient at a 95% confidence interval. Based on the evidence presented by the analysis, both null hypotheses of the study were rejected as the statistical evidence suggests that knowledge exchange significantly impacts organisational ambidexterity measures: exploration and exploitation. Based on the findings it was recommended that Knowledge exchange processes should be consistent, and transparent, and offer support for cohesiveness and the integration of all units and levels within the organisation.

Rising income, cheaper internet, the need to stay connected, and the rising information need are some of the factors that have led the Indian smartphone market to grow into one of the largest smartphone markets in the world. The total Indian telephone base stands at 1172.34 million by March 2023, as per the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. This number was 970.97 million in December 2014 and 581.81 million in January 2010. The overall tele-density stands at 84.51% at the end of March, 23. The urban tele-density was 133.81%, whereas the rural tele-density was 57.71% during the same period. The share of urban and rural subscribers in the total number of telephone subscribers at the end of March, 23 was 55.76% and 44.24%, respectively. This growth in the telecom market has been used by the companies to market their products and services to existing and potential customers. Customers having mobile phones are given calls either manual or recorded to inform them about the company's existing or new products and services and promotional schemes thereon. This telemarketing is a low-cost solution for the companies, giving them wide coverage. On the other hand, customers may be happy or annoyed to receive such calls. Therefore, it is necessary to know the customers perception and attitude towards telemarketing, the influence of telemarketing on customers purchasing decisions, and the role of telemarketing in providing useful information about products and services.
