  Agility makes it possible for organizations in today's complex and constantly changing environment to ensure their survival with rapid, innovative and creative responses. In this regard, the present study attempts to study main indicators of agility in Iran Power Development Organization (IPDO). Firstly, four main criterions referring to the literature selected include of “leveraging impact of people and information”, “cooperate to enhance competitiveness”, “enriching customer”, “mastering change and uncertainty”. Subsequently, by designing questionnaire and determining it’s content validity by academic members, intuitive data from IPDO experts has been collected. Then, reliability has been evaluated using Gous method for consistency examination of pairwise comparisons matrix. Finally data were analyzed using fuzzy multi-criteria decision making technique. The findings shows that “cooperate to enhance competitiveness” with the importance degree (0.301) is the most importance of the main criterion for selecting the more agile organizational unit. While in Iran Power Development Organization it has third priority. The main criteria “leveraging impact of people and information” with the importance degree (0.277), “mastering change and uncertainty” with the importance degree (0.238), “enriching customer” with the importance degree (0.184), were three next most important criterion in the selection of organizational units are more agile. The results point out that IPDO should be more focus on the priority of indicators affecting the agility to minimize the gap between current and desired situation. Manuscript profile

Research method was descriptive-survey and applies studies field. Statistical population included all active personals in Isfahan provinces sport committees which statistical sample size was determined (N= 320) to suitable number in basis of 16 hidden variables. For gathering data was used innovation standard questionnaire of Hamidizadeh et al (1393), knowledge management questionnaire of Newman and Conrad (1999), competitive advantage questionnaire of Hosseini (1391) and organization agility questionnaire of Yarmohammadian et al (1390). For analyzing data and consideration of model fit was used structural equation modeling and PLS and SPSS software. The results of findings indicated that knowledge management variable has significant effect on innovation, competitive advantage and agility. Also, effect of agility variable wasn’t significant on innovation, but it had significant effect on competitive advantage. Finally, Sobel test result indicated that knowledge management variable has significant effect on innovation and competitive advantage with mediator of organizational agility.

  Abstract Learning orientation is an inevitable necessity in the new product development. However, few studies have been conducted on how the learning orientation affect on new product performance through potential intermediary variables. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role of ambidextrous capability and organizational agility in the relationship between learning orientation and new product performance. This research is a descriptive survey that was carried out in a field experiment. The statistical population of the research is senior managers and especially research and development managers of knowledge based companies located in Kerman province, of which 180 persons were selected as sample. The tool used is a standard questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis and structural equations were used to analyze the data. The findings show that learning orientation is positively related to ambidextrous capability and organizational agility. The ambidextrous capability and organizational agility also, in turn, are positively related to the performance of the new product. Finally, due to the lack of confirmation of the direct relationship between learning orientation and new product performance, the results confirm the full intermediary role of ambidextrous and organizational agility capabilites in this relationship.   Manuscript profile
