| Popis: | Today’s corporate world is replete with competition and change; and only those organizations using knowledge-based human resources and more advanced information technologies will survive these turbulent waves of increasing changes. Application of ICT has created new challenges for large organizations. Thus an organization has to be able to get the best out of ICT to complete, accelerate and facilitate its works towards reaching its goals. Given the fast- growing trend of ICT, competition for participating in various markets has become closer, forcing the organizations to adopt new solutions. Having been titled "Designing an Organizational Agility Model for Iranian State-run Organizations With Emphasis on the Information and Communications Technology (ICT)" this study is to present a model through an examination of agility components and prioritizing them, as well as a study of the grounds and executive problems of information technology. From among 2 main and 5 secondary hypotheses, the subsequent data analysis rejected one main and one secondary hypothesis and the rest were confirmed. Data collection tool for this investigation was a questionnaire with good validity and reliability. This paper concludes that the reason of non-agility has been the purchase of improper hard-and software, negligence towards formulation of a strategic IT plan, insufficient staff training and so on. Therefore it is suggested that organization's managers should accurately identify the opportunities and threats facing IT implementation and create necessary matrices for modern technology implementation by the help of experienced and knowledgeable experts. The paper ends with a presentation of state-run organizations agility model with an emphasis on ICT, considering the research hypotheses, related literature and comments of scholars, professionals and experts. |
