摘要: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to design a tool for quantifying agility in organisations and test its practical compatibility.Design/methodology/approach An agile quantification was designed initially by referring 20 criteria model. A scoring pattern with maximum 1,000 marks incorporated the which then subjected experimentation an Indian electronics switches manufacturing company.Findings feedback session conducted among executives company acceptability tool. statistical analysis study revealed that 90 per cent their views were favour adopting it.Research limitations/implications allotted against are not supported research findings. This leads questioning rationale behind allotting these criteria. In order overcome limitation, ...
