A case about determining the factor”s” that impact strategic agility in a multinational organization -

Abstract

We examine the factors that impact strategic agility in the headquarters office of a multinational organization. Organizations need to be agile more than ever before due to the shifting regulatory, consumer, technological and political world environment. In this study we employ interviews, internal organization documents and personal observations to collect relevant data. Subsequent analysis of the data shows that the corporate culture and nature of the organization are the major factors impacting strategic agility more than others. Leadership profile also emerges as being another important factor, while diversity plays a marginal role but not as significant as the other factors.
