Abstract

Efficient response to change, both upon expected and unpredicted contingencies, is a critical characteristic for modern enterprises. This chapter presents the various ways this feature has been addressed in the literature and explains why the term “enterprise agility” has been adopted for characterizing this capability. Furthermore, it provides a holistic approach for analyzing enterprise agility that is based on an introduced viewpoint-oriented Enterprise Architecture. The ultimate target is to provide the means for researchers to explore enterprise agility in a systematic way and identify a number of important issues regarding the attainment of such capability.
