Organisational Agility and Performance: A Study of Osun State Polytechnic Ventures, Iree
Keywords:
Performance, Innovation, Competitiveness, Capability, AgilityAbstract
This study assessed the organizational agility and performance of Osun State Polytechnic Ventures Iree by looking into how the venture integrates, builds, and reconfigures internal and external competencies to address rapidly changing business environments. The study used a descriptive survey research design with a quantitative approach to explain the aim of the study to the staff of the venture. The data collected through a questionnaire was analyzed and presented using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). The study revealed that organizational agility has a positive effect on the venture. This study concludes that a firm's customer agility, its ability to sense and respond quickly to customer-based opportunities for innovation and competitive action, is critical for survival and success. To encourage top management to be strategically sensitive to contribute to overall firm success, firms should involve all employees in decision-making and ensure that everyone in the organization has a sense of belonging. Finally, the study recommends that ventures should adopt strategies that develop resource fluidity for improved organizational agility to improve their performance.
