This paper explores the influence of managerial ties, a specific type of nonmarket strategy, on organizational agility. In a constantly changing business environment, firms are becoming increasingly dependent on organizational agility for survival and success. Grounded on the social exchange theory, this research examines the comparative impacts of political and business ties on organizational agility and the contingent roles of competition intensity and legal enforceability. It reveals how competition intensity and legal enforceability reshape the impact difference between political and business ties on organizational agility. The findings provide new insights into the strategic utilization of political and business ties to achieve organizational agility in emerging economies.
