The ability of an organization to be agile, and, therefore, the organizational culture of agility that determines it, is a key characteristic necessary for enterprises to meet the challenges of the requirements of sustainable development under conditions of uncertainty. Uncertainty, in turn, is an inherent feature of achieving the challenging goals of growth and often survival in today’s competitive enterprise market. Analyzing the organization’s ability to be agile, the article includes the results of a study of the productivity of the pasta packaging process in a selected manufacturing company. The main purpose of the article was to identify the factors important for the implementation of the concept of organizational agility and to develop steps to follow the Shu Ha Ri methodology in a pasta packaging company in order to increase production productivity. Based on the data obtained in the form of the number of employees per shift and the amount of packed pasta, significant differences in the productivity of shifts were found, and the challenges of organizational agility were also identified, which include the changing nature of demand, the impact of the state of the machines on the continuity of production, and the occurrence of shortages at the packing stage due to the manual nature of the process. Based on the conducted research and analysis of the tools used in the formation of an agile culture, a proprietary approach to sustainably increase the productivity of the packaging process was proposed using the Shu Ha Ri methodology. The conducted research made it possible to formulate the paradigm of sustainable agility culture and its main dimensions for companies in the food industry.

A brand is an enterprise’s market image and huge intangible assets. A brand is an enterprise’s market image and huge intangible assets, and it is also a comprehensive embodiment of an enterprise’s core competitiveness. Therefore, continuous improvement of brand competitiveness undoubtedly has far-reaching significance for manufacturing enterprises. Using the brand competitiveness evaluation index system and selected evaluation methods of manufacturing enterprises constructed in this article, the brand competitiveness evaluation index system and selected evaluation methods can not only study the overall brand competitiveness of the participating enterprises, but also understand the advantages and disadvantages of the brand competitiveness of the participating enterprises from different perspectives, To help and guide manufacturing enterprises to strengthen brand building in a targeted manner and continuously improve the brand competitiveness of manufacturing enterprises. The brand competitiveness evaluation of manufacturing enterprises is a classical MAGDM problems. Recently, the TODIM and VIKOR method has been used to cope with MAGDM issues. The interval neutrosophic sets (INSs) are used as a tool for characterizing uncertain information during the brand competitiveness evaluation of manufacturing enterprises. In this manuscript, the interval neutrosophic number TODIM-VIKOR (INN-TODIM-VIKOR) method is built to solve the MAGDM under INSs. In the end, a numerical case study for brand competitiveness evaluation of manufacturing enterprises is given to validate the proposed method.

Most organizations have begun to adopt agile methods to pursue successful software development. However, the adoption and implementation of agile approaches are facing various challenges. The success of agile software development depends on Critical Success Factors (CSFs), which this study aims to identify and classify based on their relative importance. Through an extensive literature review, these factors are summarized, screened, and categorized into six dimensions. Their evolution is also outlined and analyzed. Then, the factors are illustrated through a bubble chart. Furthermore, this study determines the relevant CFSs that have a significant impact on how effectively can agile software development be implemented in China. The findings suggest certain recommendations to ensure that agile software projects are efficiently implemented in China, maximizing the chances of project success, providing valuable insights and practical guidance.
