“…Hotel agility may also contribute to the development of radical innovations such as accepting customer requests that go beyond existing products and services, and developing and marketing products and services that are completely new to the hotel. Our results are in line with those obtained byVocke (2019) andGutiérrez Rodríguez et al (2020).Another important contribution to the literature is the demonstration of an indirect relationship between agility and environmental management through innovation. In order to adapt quickly to the changing environment and customer needs, hotels develop innovations in their establishments.…”

“…In our research, we follow the approach of Bauer and Vocke (2019) and Shuradze et al (2018), who study how agile organizations may contribute to the development of incremental and radical innovations. The idea is that through agility, the firm identifies the nature of environmental change and determines how to respond in an optimal way (Al‐Taweel & Al‐Hawary, 2021).…”

“…The idea is that through agility, the firm identifies the nature of environmental change and determines how to respond in an optimal way (Al‐Taweel & Al‐Hawary, 2021). Therefore, for innovation to exist in the organization, an optimal adjustment of processes has to be carried out to facilitate a good combination of resources for the development of all kinds of incremental and/or radical innovation in products, processes and services in order to respond to these market demands (Bauer & Vocke, 2019; Nath & Agrawal, 2020; Teece, 2017). Thus, agility is a dynamic capability that may help explain why a firm may become more successful than another in its innovations (Shuradze et al, 2018).…”

The hotel industry is characterized by operating in a global, dynamic and uncertain environment where stakeholders' concerns on sustainable development are growing.However, there is limited research on whether hotels have flexibility and capacity for change, to develop environmental practices that meet stakeholder demands and improve their competitiveness. Through the dynamic capabilities theory, the resource-based view and the stakeholder theory, this paper develops a model that considers agility and innovation as antecedents of environmental management and competitive advantages as consequences. A Partial Least Squares analysis is carried out based on data from Spanish hotels. The results indicate that agility and innovation influence environmental management positively; agility influences innovation positively; and agility influences environmental management indirectly through innovation. Moreover, environmental management positively influences cost and differentiation competitive advantages. This study contributes to the literature by examining the role of two important dynamic capabilities and their impact on environmental management and showing how the interaction and mediation between these capabilities favors competitive advantages.

“…Therefore, implementing Industry 4.0 ecosystem would present a challenge for the organization in terms of reconfiguration of culture, management and facility. The organization with agility as a (dynamic) capability will be able to quickly reconfigure and pave a smooth way for adopting and implementing I4.0 technologies [54][55][56]. Thus, a debate exists in the literature as to whether agility is a driver in the implementation of I4.0 or a consequence of it.…”

Agility is the dynamic capability of an organization which helps it to manage a change and uncertainties in the environment. The purpose of this research is to review the literature from the perspective of agility in Industry 4.0. This paper systematically reviews 381 relevant articles from peer-reviewed academic journals in the period of the last five years. The results show that agility is important for an organization to adopt Industry 4.0 technologies as it helps companies to cope with the changes that arise along with the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies. Further, it also indicates that by adopting Industry 4.0 technologies, companies can significantly enhance their agility capability into various aspects with different technologies. The technologies which enhance the agility are: smart manufacturing, internet of things, cyber-physical system, big data and analytics and cloud computing. On the other hand, important aspects of agility include supply chain, workforce, information system, facilities, management, manufacturing and technology agility.
