Abstract
Business agility is a crucial factor for the success of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in today's fast-paced and competitive business landscape. This paper explores the importance of balancing control and flexibility in SME to achieve business agility. It highlights the role of technology adoption and the implementation of remote work arrangements as enablers of agility. The paper presents a framework that helps SME strike the right balance between control measures and the flexibility needed to adapt to market changes and drive innovation. It discusses the benefits that technology can bring in enhancing agility, such as streamlining operations and enabling remote collaboration. However, it also acknowledges the risks associated with remote work arrangements and emphasizes the need for proper controls to ensure security and efficiency. By implementing this framework, SME can foster a culture of agility, capitalize on technological advancements, and optimize remote work opportunities to stay competitive and achieve their organizational objectives. The study examines the concepts of business agility in relation to leadership, technology, and performance for SME.
