This paper presents the unique black markets of asset pooling and leasing services,udwhich exposes the nature and extent of industry-specific threats. We explore how firmsudproviding such services together with their network structures that constitute theudfoundations of asset pooling and leasing respond to the threat of black markets. Weudencapsulate detecting and encountering the threat of black markets through theudtheoretical lens of agility, which encompasses the elements of sensing and respondingud(Overby et al. 2006; Roberts and Grover 2012). This novel concept of responding toudthreats using the agility lens has not been adequately addressed by past studies onudenterprise agility. Through a case study of a global asset pooling and leasing company,udwe reveal the criticality of network structures, the impracticality of IT and inadequateudtracking mechanisms that challenge firms in minimizing such threats.
