Agility in organizational context (AOc) is a new concept in management literature and carries great importance for the companies operating in uncertain business environments as Romania and everywhere else. Many of the previous approaches to process development or transformation focus on practices and processes that organizational actors should learn. Based on our research we list a number of predictors expected to be on the attention list of organizations' leadership, have identified key features of such organizations that face un unpredictable and always connected world and have developed an integrated model defined by the dynamics of interactions between internal, heterogeneous agents and transversal networks (Lucescu and Avasilcăi, 2020 forthcoming). The way some organizations try to solve newly occurred problems often seem to create more confusion therefore it is legitimately prevailing to further cast a look upon issues, practices, bias and barriers to the development of agility in business context. Purpose –the aim of this paper is to pinpoint some of the issues, barriers and practices that may impair presence of AOc and thus, developing an agile organization. Methodology/approach - An extensive literature review and observation are conducted to identify and confirm the characterization of the determined issues. Once identified, they will be in a structured catalogue. Findings – The literature review comprises 2000+ references published between 2001 and 2020. We have selected 100+ papers for full consideration and have identified 8 key factors for instilling AOc, 3 types of barriers with subsequently 8 hidden ones and 5 common errors in creating conditions for AOc to thrive. We examine 14 organizations in Romania to determine the relevance of the selected issues. Research limitations/implications – When the Romanian literature is reviewed, there is no other study examining AOc, except for conceptual studies regarding technical software methodology and approach. Practical implications – For this reason, it can be stated that our study will contribute empirically both to related literature and to the business world.
