FLEXIBILITY IN THE AREA OF ENTERPRISE RESOURCES: THE MANAGERS' PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: Today, organisations function in a dynamic business and regulatory environment more intensively than ever before. Managers are obliged to adopt a proactive stance in formulating adaptive strategies that not only react to changing external conditions but also actively shape them. For this reason, flexibility in various areas and at various levels of an organisation's functioning is becoming very important, both for global enterprises and those operating in local markets. The aim of the article is to systematise knowledge on enterprise flexibility, with particular attention to resource flexibility, and to learn the opinions of management staff and experts from selected entities on the importance of flexibility in the resource areas of the enterprises they represent. The article is of a review nature, supported by empirical research. The conclusions of the analyses indicate that most enterprises are characterised by moderate flexibility; entities are aware of the need to adapt to changes occurring in the environment, while at the same time fearing the risk accompanying anticipatory flexibility. The conclusions of the empirical research also show that there is a relationship between the areas of an enterprise's resources and the sequence of its flexibility, depending on the organisation's level of flexibility.
