Strategic Agility: A Panacea for Organizational Sustainability Focus on Selected Management Development Institutions (MDIs) in Nigeria Perspective

Abstract

Strategic Agility as one of the approaches towards achieving organizational sustainability, seems to lack the necessary attention and the degree to which this strategy can stimulate organization remain elusive, hence weak definition of the level of HCD in terms of its economic goals. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between strategic agility as a panacea for organizational sustainability in Nigeria MDIs. The study adopted survey research design.  Simple random sampling technique was employed in selecting the 398 staff as target respondents from selected MDI. The response rate was 87.9%. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential (correlation) statistics revealed that there was a positive and significant relationship between the strategic agility and organizational sustainability using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) (p<0.05). The results indicate that Strategic sensitivity (r = .441^**, p<0.05), Collective commitment/Leadership (.374^**, p<0.05), and Resource fluidity (r = .332^**, p<0.05). The result in the table is consistent with the apriori expectation of positive relationship between the variables. The table indicates that there is a positive and significant relationship between strategic agility and organizational sustainability. This means that the higher the strategic agility the higher the organizational sustainability. The study concluded that strategic agility played an influential role in the sustenance of MDIs in Nigeria. The study recommended the integration of IS in the operations of the MDIs in Nigeria to ensure improved performance, growth, survival and ultimately, to achieve the organizational sustainability.
