Abstract
The agility is a relatively new concept in today's business that has become a critical capability for the organisations. In fact, it is the most important factor for organisation in the dynamic and turbulent environment. The agile organisations need to adaptability strategies for applying knowledge management tools to overcome uncertainty. This kind of organisations distributes knowledge through creating the knowledge and exchanging the information between people and provides the opportunity to achieve the agility. Therefore, considering the issue of knowledge management and its effect on agility is critical and inevitable for today's organisations. This study aims to study the effect of applying knowledge management on agility as the case study in the ceramic and tile industry. The data was collected using questionnaire. The structural equation method was used to analyse the research hypothesis using Amos software. The results of the study showed that applying knowledge management has positive and meaningful effect on agility that is equal to 0.72.
期刊介绍：
The objective of IJASM is to establish an effective channel of communication between academia, industry and persons concerned with the design and development of systems. Change is eternal and perpetual, irrespective of type of system. Systems created in the course of the advance of human civilization need to be functionally and operationally sustainable amid changes in technological, political, socio-economical, financial, cultural and other environmental challenges. IJASM aims to promote and harmonize knowledge developments in the emerging fields of agile systems research, sustainability and vulnerability analysis, risk assessments methodologies, complex systems science, e-organisation and e-supply chain management, with emphasis on the international dimension, particularly breaking cultural barriers, and on national contexts, globalisation and new business practices. As such, we aim to publish papers presenting new research, innovative theoretical approaches, changes in agile management paradigms, and action (both examples of successes and failures as long as there are important lessons to be learned) from leading scholars and practitioners. Papers generally fall into two broad categories: those grounded in theory and/or papers using scientific research methods (e.g., reports of original empirical studies, models, critical reviews of existing empirical research, theory pieces that clearly extend current thinking); and those focusing on innovative agile approaches that are based on well reasoned extensions of existing research, experiential knowledge, or exemplary cases (e.g., thought pieces, case studies, etc).
