Da quando il manifesto agile fu creato nel 2001, la comunità di ricerca ha dedicato molta attenzione al concetto di agilità nello sviluppo del software e in altre discipline come la gestione di progetti. L’impiego dell'agilità al marketing, comunque è un approccio nuovo che non è ancora stato esaminato scientificamente. Lo scopo di questo studio è presentare una struttura che definisca il marketing agile. Lo studio è basato sull'analisi teoretica di gestione di progetto agile ed otto interviste ad esperti approfondite che usano un approccio induttivo. La struttura proposta include sette dimensioni. Presenta la definizione di marketing agile come mentalità incentrata sulle persone che facilita la sensibilità verso ambienti dinamici senza perdere focus strategico.

Abstract
Ever since the agile manifesto was created in 2001, the research community has devoted a great deal of attention towards the concept of agility in software development and other disciplines such as project management. The application of agility to marketing, however, is a novel approach which has not yet been scientifically examined. The purpose of this study is to present a framework that defines agile marketing . The study is based on the theoretical analysis of agile project management and eight in-depth expert interviews using an inductive approach. The proposed framework includes seven dimensions. It introduces the definition of agile marketing as a people-centric mindset that facilitates responsiveness towards dynamic environments without losing strategic focus.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
