ABSTRACT
The article discusses issues related to agile enterprise management, in particular, the aspects related to the opportunities resulting from the implementation of various types of innovations. The main aim of the article was to present the innovations implemented by a selected company in the railroad sector to determine their impact on the possibility of opportunity creation. An in-depth analysis of the literature related to theoretical issues was presented, as well as a description of specific scientific cases for which the implementation of innovations resulted in the emergence of opportunities, which led to different types of enterprise profits. In order to achieve the main goal, it was necessary to present the functioning of a selected railway construction company over several years showing revenues and profits. It was important to indicate innovations in individual years and their impact on the company's operations, and in particular on the emergence of opportunities. As part of the case study, a subjective scale was developed to assess the level of innovation. In this way, the aspect of creating opportunities was related to the innovations implemented, which translated into profits for the company. In addition to the above, the limitations and further directions of research are comprehensively described. The most important conclusion of the work is that it confirms the creation of opportunities resulting from investing in innovative solutions in enterprise management.
