Book

The proliferation of economic, health, geopolitical and environmental crises has profoundly transformed how organizations are managed. In this context, organizational resilience has become a strategic capability that enables companies to anticipate disruptions and safeguard their essential activities, to adapt quickly to change and turn crises into opportunities for learning and development. This book provides an in-depth synthesis of the scientific literature on organizational resilience. It presents the main conceptual approaches, retraces the historical evolution of the concept, analytes the theoretical foundations that explain it and identifies the main determinants favouring its development. The book also compares the main international tools for measuring organizational resilience, highlighting their contributions, limitations and areas of application. Intended for researchers, PhD students, teachers, students and management practitioners, this book is a reference to understand the mechanisms of resilience and support organizations facing an increasingly uncertain environment.
