Abstract

This study investigates the intricate relationship between strategic agility and digital transformation within mid-sized enterprises, focusing on their adaptation to market changes. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzes quantitative data from operational metrics and qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that organizations with higher strategic agility experience significantly improved digital transformation outcomes, evidenced by a 30% reduction in operational latency and enhanced customer engagement metrics. The qualitative analysis underscores the role of leadership in fostering a culture of agility that embraces technological advancements. This research contributes to the strategic management literature by providing empirical evidence on how mid-sized firms can leverage agility to thrive in a digitally evolving landscape.
