Mapping research trends on strategic agility over the past 25 years: insights from a bibliometric approach

Purpose Strategic agility is a fuzzy concept that has become crucial to cope with environmental uncertainty and instability; hence, more in-depth studies are highly needed. The aim of this paper shed light on the still diffuse research area strategic by clarifying its scope concept, as well identifying different topics have been examined thus far. Finally, intent show existing gaps in literature provide scholars clear roadmap for future research. Design/methodology/approach Bibliometric content analyses used study review most impactful papers between 1996 2021. Citation mapping conducted through SciMAT software, dynamic approach adopted assessing discussing evolution throughout five periods. Findings This reveals line neither gained consensus nor reached maturity it linked several thematic areas or topics. offers complete understanding state art over time underscores main lines. Originality/value presents map far using novel bibliometric techniques. especially interesting because allows relationships among themes within topic
