Abstract
Agilidad estratégica es un tema que ha despertado interés recientemente, pero que sigue siendo un concepto confuso que permanece mal definido, a pesar de que se introdujo hace unas dos décadas (Weber and Tarba, 2014). Si bien es un concepto crucial para hacer frente a la incertidumbre e inestabilidad del entorno competitivo, el tema aún no ha alcanzado la madurez y se requieren estudios en profundidad (de Diego and Almodovar, 2021). Esta tesis tiene como objetivo proporcionar respuestas a tres preguntas clave en torno al tema. Aclarar el alcance y concepto de agilidad estratégica, mostrando lagunas en la literatura. Revisar cuáles son los factores facilitadores de la agilidad estratégica. Proporcionar una comprensión más profunda de cuál es la relación entre los factores clave seleccionados y la agilidad estratégica. Aclarar el alcance y concepto de agilidad estratégica, mostrando lagunas en la literatura. La tesis comienza proporcionando un análisis bibliométrico y de contenido para descubrir cuáles son los artículos con mayor impacto en agilidad estratégica entre 1996 y 2021. Para ello, recopilamos datos de Web of Science (WoS) de Thomson Reuters y Scopus de Elsevier, las bases de datos más comunes para realizar análisis bibliométricos (Rodriguez Ruiz et al., 2019). Como encontramos un mayor número de referencias en Scopus que en WoS, seleccionamos el primero para nuestro análisis. Esto es consistente con los hallazgos de otros autores (Chadegani et al., 2013) y con el hecho de que casi todas las revistas indexadas en WoS también están cubiertas por Scopus (Singh et al., 2021)...
Strategic agility is a topic which has recently benefited from growing interest but is still also a fuzzy concept that remains ill defined, despite having being introduced around two decades ago (Weber and Tarba, 2014). While it is a crucial concept for coping with environmental uncertainty and instability, the topic has yet to reach maturity and in-depth studies are required (de Diego and Almodovar, 2021). This thesis aims to resolve three key issues around the topic:a. Clarify the scope and concept of strategic agility, by showing gaps in the literature.b. Review the facilitating factors of strategic agilityc. Provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between selected key factors and strategic agility.a. Clarify the scope and concept of strategic agility, by showing gaps in the literatureThe thesis starts by providing a bibliometric and content analysis to uncover the most impactful papers on strategic agility between 1996 and 2021. To that end, we collected data from Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier’s Scopus, the standard databases that are used for bibliometric analyses (Rodriguez Ruiz et al., 2019). As we found more references in Scopus than in WoS, we selected the former for our analysis. This is consistent with the findings of other authors (Chadegani et al., 2013) and with the fact that almost all journals that are indexed in WoS are also covered by Scopus (Singh et al., 2021). We chose “Keywords” as the object of analysis, as it is one of the most commonly selected metrics to evaluate (Börner et al., 2003), and because they are conducive to analysis and the tracking of the evolution of the main topics in the literature...
