An organizational sensemaking theorizing of how firms construct digitally enabled strategic agility
提出一个基于组织意义建构的理论框架，认为数字化赋能的战略敏捷性源于数字导向、信息治理和数字化转型的组合，并通过澳大利亚医疗行业调查数据验证了信息治理和数字化转型的中介作用。
Existing theories on digitally enabled strategic agility have predominantly adopted a dynamic capability perspective, explaining how it fosters competitive advantage. However, such theories provide insufficient clarity on how organizations navigate the “equivocality” that arises from abundant but often unstructured and ambiguous information and signals to formulate an effective response to environmental dynamism . We address this literature gap by developing a novel organizational-sensemaking-based framework where digitally enabled strategic agility emerges from a combination of digital orientation, information governance , and digital transformation. We test the series of hypotheses depicted in the theoretical framework empirically by collecting survey data from the Australian healthcare sector. The statistical findings reveal that digital orientation influences digitally enabled strategic agility through the individual and serial mediation of information governance and digital transformation, with no direct impact observed. Our findings highlight the importance of organizational sensemaking in achieving effective responses to environmental changes, crucial for fully realizing digitally enabled strategic agility.
