Organizational Agility and Performance: A Time-Series Analysis of Crisis Response

preprint OA: closed CC-BY-4.0

Abstract

The paper discusses how this affects the financial resilience across industries, using Amazon, Ford, Toyota, and Pfizer from 2008 to 2023, with further forecasts up to 2028. It utilizes the ARIMA model in computing the extent to which agility in operational, financial, and strategic dimensions leads to recoveries and performance during economic turmoil. In this regard, the adaptability of Amazon and Toyota further increased its growth, but Ford and Pfizer demonstrated really constrained flexibility due to the limitations of their industries. The approach of Toyota to lean manufacturing proves that structured agility can also work for traditional industries. Besides, Pfizer's short-term gains from rapid innovation underlined the relevance of Pfizer's long-term strategic agility. Based on the case study, several contributions are created to the dynamic capability theory: agility works best within an industry context and within the discipline in finance. This conference is insightful for leaders seeking to bring agility into various industries' diverse operational requirements, showcasing agility as both the great factor of competitive advantage and stability.
