EN The concept of agile manufacturing and an agile enterprise was created in order to effectively compete in the conditions of increasing volatility in all segments of the macro-environment of firms. The turbulent environment generates not only threats, but also opportunities, the perception and use of which favours of gaining a competitive advantage on the one hand, and on the other hand is a manifestation of agility. The aim of this article is to investigate whether and how managers assess changes perceived in macroenvironment and how the changes affect the implementation of solutions increasing the agility of the enterprise. An agility is analysed in cross section of its four dimensions i.e. brightness, flexibility, intelligence and shrewdness of enterprise. For this dimensions indicators/symptoms of agility were elaborated. The perceived changes are treated as independent (explanatory) variables when the indicators represent the dependent (explained) variables. The empirical research was conducted in January 2020 in 100 medium and large enterprises operating in Poland. The results show that the assessment of macroenvironment’s changes has rather weak influence on implementation the concept of agile enterprise.
