Organisational agility a leverage to firm’s performance: an integrative review

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between organisational agility and performance to determine how agility can improve performance. It will also emphasise organisational agility as a key driver of company performance. In keeping with the previous statement, an integrative review was undertaken using Scopus, EBSCO, and ABI Inform. We also used free web searches to find resources on Science Direct, SABINET, Bing, and Google Scholar for this investigation. This study shows that aligning procedures with agility adoption can boost company performance. Well-planned and implemented agility initiatives improve company processes and efforts. Thus, organisational management can use agility to adapt to the changing business environment when correctly planned and performed. The report offers practical advice on how companies might adopt agility.
