Abstract

Building organisations with a high degree of agility is becoming a more and more relevant and key issue as the dynamicity and unpredictability of the environment grow. A number of studies offer lists of characteristics outlining the profile of an agile organisation. The influence of numerous organisational resources and managerial practices for enhancing agility is focused upon by researchers as well. By reviewing and comparatively analysing the features of agile organisations as formulated by other researchers, the aim of this article is to outline the main features of agile organisations, as well as differentiate the markers of agility from the factors and practices which enable it. The role of knowledge in achieving agility is emphasised and centred around in the logical framework which describes the link between agility enablers and agility features. Thus, the necessity to acquire and develop knowledge and employ it in achieving agility justifies the choice of practices and resources pointed out in this article as key agility enablers.
