Abstract

In recent years, our country's situation has changed in such a way that our nation is faced with global pressures. Today we needa bounce in the economy and we've got to move on. Our enemies want to recapture their domination over our country through sanctions and economic pressure.
In this critical situation, resistive economy was raised by the Superme Leader to deal with the economic pressures and sanctions imposed on us by our enemies.
Resistive economy identifies pressures exerted by other countries and tries to control and decrease the effects of these pressures and to turn these threats into opportunities. On the other hand, agility is the ability of an organization to seize on new opportunities for competitive advantage and to control information, assets and existing communications to adapt with the sudden changes of business terms.
In this article, after reviewing the resistive economy and agility literatures, we explore the necessity of an agile organization to achieve overall policies of resistive economy. According to the literature of resistive economy and agility, we provide the different dimensions of an agile resistive economy. After conducting the examination, a conceptual model of agile resistive economy is presented. This model can be used by agile organizations to achieve the goals of an agile resistive economy.
