The IT sector has been a driver of change and innovation for the economy. It is on a continous exponential trend, setting new directions for the business environment. Given so, the literature highlights the importance of strategic agility as a tool of increased firm performance and improved results. The current paper points out how strategic agility is influencing the peformance of a company. To outline the findings of the paper, the author uses a quantitative and qualitative analysis. Based on the literature we focus on understanding on the connection between strategic agility, transformation and firm peformance. The author will perform a statistical analysis based on collected primary data. To capture the opinion of the respondents, the author has created a survey and shared it with IT professionals who are part of IT organizations in Romania. Their responses will be analyzed and transposed into a regression model. As a result, the paper will help us bridge the literature with a real-case analysis applied on the IT sector in Romania. The outcome of the paper might serve as a reference for those who want to invest in the Romanian IT sector or who want to open-up an IT company in Romania.
