Abstract

Managing unanticipated changes in turbulent and dynamic market environments requires organizations to reach an extended level of flexibility, which is known as agility. Agility can be defined as ability to sense environmental changes and to readily respond to those. While information systems are alleged to have a major influence on organizational agility, service-oriented architecture (SOA) poses an opportunity to shape agile information systems and ultimately organizational agility. However, related research studies predominantly comprise theoretical claims only. Seeking a detailed picture and in-depth insights, we conduct a qualitative exploratory case study. The objective of our research-in-progress is therefore to provide first-hand empirical data to contribute insights into SOA’s influence on organizational agility. We contribute to the two related research fields of SOA and organizational agility by addressing lack of empirical research on SOA’s organizational implications.
