Summary
In the beginning of 21st century, the world faced considerable changes in all aspects, especially great changes in the communicational channels. These changes require organizations to revise their strategic priorities and visions (Sharifi & Zhang, 1999, 2001). In the unpredictable and competitive world of today, the organizations must have different competitive features to compete; otherwise, they will move towards annihilation. One of these features that organizations need in the turbulent environments of today is agility. Agility provides the organization with the possibility of quick response and compatibility with environment and allows the organization to improve its efficiency (Yeganegi & Azar, 2012)
