Business agility has emerged as an important strategy tool for the firms to cut across the increasing competition in the emerging markets in the twenty-first century. The competitive performance of the firm is significantly driven by the changing customer needs. The business agility influences firm’s performance to manage market complexity with flexible strategies. Effective implementation of strategies with business agility needs firms to develop abilities on market sensing, flexibility, speed, and responsiveness. These attributes allow firms to co-create and coevolve with customer-centric strategies in a changing environment and respond rapidly to the complexities by reconfiguring their business tactics. Start-up enterprises are well known for acting quickly, but continuous evolution maintaining the early momentum is often a big challenge. The large and established companies often become bureaucratic because the rules, policies, and management layers developed to leverage economies of scale, deter their ability to move fast. Though, agility in business seems to be easy but is a hard to practice breaking the conventional management practices. The agile organizations, paradoxically learn to be both stable (resilient, reliable, and efficient) and dynamic (fast, nimble, and adaptive). To grow agile companies must design structures, governance arrangements, and processes with a relatively consistent set of core elements driving their performance.
Agile business processes tend to easily adjust plans and strategies for responding swiftly to new opportunities and the emerging challenges. While doing business with the social media channels, companies work in an interactive digital environment which demands implementing flexible business strategies in view of the crowd behavior and social consciousness of customers. Agile methodology is an alternative to Waterfall methodology- the rigid, top-down approach to project management that most marketers follow. The broad goals of agile business include improving the speed, predictability, transparency, and adaptability to changing market scenarios. Managers working with the agile business strategies benefit from continuous feedback on products and services by the customers and stakeholders that allow the managers flexibility in developing strategies to adapt to changing market scenarios. Working in an agile business environment is a team approach within the firms. The basic manifesto of agile business encompasses core values and principles that are crucial for achieving performance through co-created and coevolved business strategies.
This conference intends to document experience of firms, management process, and business systems that have co-evolved with the agile business philosophy and attained high business performance. Deliberation in the conference aims at discussing the causes and effects, and challenged associated with the management of agile businesses. Portraying the varied corporate experiences in agile business designs, stakeholder value propositions, and competitiveness across the industries, this conference focusses on critically examining the problems, challenges, probable solutions, and policy frameworks for managing agile business modeling as an emerging tool. This distinguished academic convention is instrumental to drive a convergent debate on divergent aspects of agility in business practices .

The imposing spire of the Lingaraj Temple, the quiet beauty of the Viswa Shanti Stupa in Dhauli and the pink translucence of the Mahavira Jain Temple in nearby Khandagiri, inspire feelings of wonder at their sheer beauty and their cross- cultural permutations.
