Abstract of the talk
Organizational resilience is not a new concept but overwhelmingly the managerial view permeates its theorization. Drawing from various disciplines and using a socio-ecological lens, I will highlight some of the key trends that have shaped research in this area and the current challenges. I will offer some directions on how to better theorise the concept and highlight its unique relationship with other resilience concepts such as psychological, employee, and entrepreneurial resilience.
