Today organizations face increasingly dynamic and competitive environments. Business agility aims to address these challenges. In this contribution, we aim to increase understanding about business agility by introducing a novel conceptualization.

In order to achieve these goals, we first introduce different levels of analysis that explain how business agility integrates into existing organizational structures. Subsequently we define business agility to 1) be goal-oriented and 2) to represent a triadic problem consisting of the three dimensions time, control and information systems. Then we introduce an integrative concept of business agility that ties together the three dimensions and introduces parameters that enable an assessment of different degrees of business agility. Based on that, we identify two main research directions, organic information systems and decision support systems...
