Strategic Agility: A State of the Art: Introduction to the Special Section on Strategic Agility

摘要

In a chaotic environment in which markets emerge, collide, split, evolve, and die, one of the primary determinants of a firm's success is strategic agility, the ability to remain flexible in facing new developments, to continuously adjust the company's strategic direction, and to develop innovative ways to create value. The competitive landscape has been shifting in recent years more than ever.

These trends are expected to continue, producing ever more rapid and unpredictable changes.
