Strategic Agility and its Impact on Strategic Recovery

Abstract

The current research highlights the relationship between strategic agility as an influential variable and strategic recovery as a responsive variable in a sample of hospitals. It aims to employ modern trends of employing strategic agility in achieving strategic recovery. The problem of the research revolves around a number of questions that try to reveal the theoretical philosophy and the intellectual indications of the variables involved in addition to identifying the level of importance of these two variables. In order to know the nature of the relationship (between the variables) and its impact on hospitals as well as to achieve the objectives of research, a single formulated main hypothesis was designed out of which three sub-hypotheses were emerged. The research was applied to a purposeful sample of 95 administrative leaders in the researched hospitals, while using SPSS for data processing with the help of statistical means of “percentage, arithmetic median, standard deviation, coefficient of correlation, and coefficient of regression"A number of conclusions were set based upon the results that the study reached which showed a relationship of significance between the strategic agility in general and strategic recovery, since the existence of strategic agility in hospitals proved to effectively affects and enhance the overall strategic recovery. The researchers recommended hospitals to be aware of the changes that are taking place in the Iraqi environment and to proactively put plans that include all possibilities and solutions to be implemented, providing the necessary supplies including knowledge-based fundamentals as well as essential material and human resources capable of monitoring, selecting and explaining the necessary informationso that to know what the labor market requires in order to maintain their market positions compared to other competitive hospitals. The researchers also highlighted the importance of the researched hospitals having enough flexibility to redistribute the available resources over their activities so as to improve a rapid response, noting that strategic agility requires a level of coordination among administrative activities in order to achieve integration which in turn increases the possibility of achieving the sought-after goals and with high efficacy.
