Abstract	The rapid advancement of digital technologies has fundamentally transformed how organizations operate, compete, and create value. Digital transformation refers to the integration of digital technologies into business models, processes, and strategic decision-making. Organizational agility, meanwhile, represents a firm’s ability to sense and respond rapidly to environmental changes. This paper examines the relationship between digital transformation and organizational agility and their combined impact on business performance. Drawing on established academic literature and industry datasets (including MIT Sloan Management Review, McKinsey Global Institute, and OECD digital economy indicators), the study finds that digitally mature organizations consistently demonstrate higher agility and superior performance outcomes. However, challenges such as skill gaps, legacy systems, cybersecurity risks, and resistance to change constrain transformation success. The paper concludes that digital transformation and organizational agility are complementary capabilities that jointly enhance competitiveness, innovation, and long-term sustainability.
