This research paper explores the relationship between strategic agility and firm survival in a highly dynamic business environment. The study aims to identify the key factors associated with strategic agility and to analyze how they impact firm performance in a competitive and rapidly changing market. A systematic literature review methodology was employed to gather and analyze the relevant literature. Three key factors were identified as being associated with strategic agility: resource fluidity, leadership capabilities, and strategic sensitivity. The analysis revealed that firms with a higher degree of strategic agility have a better chance of survival in a dynamic business environment. Strategic agility helps firms quickly adapt to changes in the market, anticipate future trends, and respond to customer needs, thereby enhancing their competitiveness. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the importance of strategic agility as a critical factor in ensuring firm survival in a highly dynamic business environment.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) accounts for the largest and most important proportion of foreign capital in Albania, which undoubtedly plays an important role in the Albania's economic development growth. However, as the country continues to take various preferential policies to promote foreign investment and the good momentum of Albania's economic development, FDI increases. While there are considerable theoretical treatments of the FDI-export linkage, relevant empirical analyses have been limited. This paper attempts to close the gap by investigating the issue with the Albanian data. The estimates indicate that FDI indeed has had a positive impact on Albanian export performance. The findings provide rich source of information to policy makers, researchers, and the management of both foreign and domestic owned firms. From this point of view, the study aims to make an empirical research how the FDI has influenced the trade growth of the country. Based on the theory of FDI, this paper through an FDI and foreign trade model tests the correlation between two of them and effect of FDI in Albania's international trade with data from 1996-2014. The results of the study showed that there is a positive relation between FDI and exports in Albania.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is perhaps one of the most ambiguous and the least understood concepts in international economics. Common debate on FDI is confounded by several myths regarding its nature and impact on capital accumulation, technological progress, industrialization and growth in emerging and developing economies (Akyüz, 2015). In this circumstance, the purpose of this paper is to explore empirically the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on technological progress of Albanian manufacturing industry sectors. We also investigate the effect of FDI on domestic output, namely, whether there is evidence that the inflow of foreign capital crowds out domestic output. Using panel data analysis the empirical part of the paper finds indications that the introduction of FDI has a positive effect on the output of domestic enterprises, that is, FDI has improved the productivity and the technology upgrading of local enterprises.
