Contemporary firms need to respond and adapt to the turbulent environment
through various innovations, such as new products, new business processes,
and new forms of organization. Agility has long been recognized as vital to
creating these innovations. It is particularly important for firms
operating in the industries with high clockspeed to cope with the
environmental dynamism with these innovations. As today's firms
increasingly rely on information technology (IT) to develop agility and
innovation, this minitrack explores the area on IT, agility, and firm
innovation.


How does IT enable different dynamic capabilities and organizational
agility in innovation activity? What innovation outcomes are derived from
IT-enabled agility? How do firms benefit from these innovation outcomes?
What are the costs or risks associated with IT-enabled agility building and
innovation development? How does environmental characteristics influence
the innovation performance of IT-enabled agility?

investigating IT, agility and innovation are welcome. Topics for this
