The primary objective of this investigation is to explore the key factors within a large corporation that facilitate the transition from a conventional hierarchical organizational structure to a more agile one. Although there are studies in the literature on the different agile organizational structures, there are no clear guidelines for a large company to transform to an agile framework. This study employs contingency theory as its framework and specifically focuses on the financial sector to identify both opportunities and challenges encountered during this transformation process. Qualitative research methods were employed, involving an analysis of five case studies in which managers served as respondents. This research contributes to the identification of a model as a guideline for the transformation of the organizational structure towards agility that can provide valuable information for companies undergoing such a transformation. The managers surveyed provided their experience and the competencies of their profiles were validated, in addition to the application of the Delphi method to obtain more objective information. The findings underscore that large companies should refrain from adopting a completely flat hierarchical structure. Moreover, there exists a set of strategic-level elements that serve as a guiding framework for the transformation process. Furthermore, it is essential to acknowledge that the transformation process itself does not follow a one-size-fits-all approach; rather, it is contingent upon the unique context of each individual case, and it is also a cultural challenge.

El aguacate ha tomado un lugar especial en el comercio internacional por sus bondades nutricionales y también por su sabor, lo que explica que las exportaciones de este fruto, en su versión mexicana y colombiana, hayan experimentado un impulso favorable a lo largo del periodo de 2000-2021; sin embargo, se detecta que recientemente esta dinámica se ha interrumpido por la presencia de algunos elementos encontrados que se comentan a lo largo de este documento, desde el cambio climático (sequía), como la intromisión del crimen organizado en la producción del fruto y hasta las políticas públicas de cada país. El documento finaliza con la reflexión de algunas vías de acción por parte del Estado y de los particulares para atender los problemas de seguridad, sostenibilidad ambiental y regulación para apoyo a pequeñas empresas en las regiones aguacateras.
