Strategic Agility in Dynamic Business Environments

Strategic agility is a fast-growing paradigm for strategic thinking and strategy-making that is finding increasing acceptance both in academia and practice. But what are the theoretical origins of this paradigm? What are the main lines of development of the paradigm in the current academic debate and in firms adopting agile strategies? And, finally, what are the areas and topics that need additional research? With this book, Guido Bortoluzzi and Marco Balzano take us first into the past to look for the historical roots of this disruptive paradigm, then review the current academic debate on the topic and present some cases of agile companies. And finally, they discuss the potential future development of this topic in the field of strategy research.
