Abstract

This study aims to examine the trends and research gaps in the literature by addressing the concepts of agile management and agile organization from a bibliometric perspective. 867 articles in the Web of Science database between 1997 and 2024 were analyzed using VOSviewer software. The study examined the historical development of agile management and organization, prominent themes, keywords and scientific contributions. The findings show that agile has found application in a wide range of fields, especially in software development and project management. In particular, co-authorship, citation and bibliographic match analyses revealed scientific collaboration networks and thematic concentrations in the literature. According to the keyword analysis, agile project management and organizational change are among the most studied topics. The study systematically assesses the existing literature in the field of agile management and organization, while suggesting new directions for future research. It is also emphasized that topics such as hybrid management models and the integration of agile methods into other disciplines should be further explored. In this context, the study aims to fill the gaps in the literature and contribute to strategic decision-making processes.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, çevik yönetim ve çevik organizasyon kavramlarını bibliyometrik bir perspektifle ele alarak literatürdeki eğilimleri ve araştırma boşluklarını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. 1997-2024 yılları arasında Web of Science veri tabanındaki 867 makale, VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada, çevik yönetim ve organizasyonun tarihsel gelişimi, öne çıkan temalar, anahtar kelimeler ve bilimsel katkılar incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, çevikliğin yazılım geliştirme ve proje yönetimi başta olmak üzere geniş bir alanda uygulama bulduğunu göstermektedir. Özellikle ortak yazarlık, atıf ve bibliyografik eşleşme analizleri, literatürdeki bilimsel iş birliği ağlarını ve tematik yoğunlaşmaları ortaya koymuştur. Anahtar kelime analizine göre, çevik proje yönetimi ve organizasyonel değişim en çok çalışılan konular arasındadır. Çalışma, çevik yönetim ve organizasyon alanındaki mevcut literatürü sistematik bir şekilde değerlendirirken, gelecekteki araştırmalar için yeni yönelimler önermektedir. Ayrıca hibrit yönetim modelleri ve çevik yöntemlerin diğer disiplinlere entegrasyonu gibi konuların daha fazla araştırılması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, çalışmanın, literatürdeki boşlukları doldurması ve stratejik karar alma süreçlerine katkı sağlaması hedeflenmektedir.
