Conclusions
The ability of organizations to continue to operate and to provide
goods, services, and employment is critical to the ability of
communities to be resilient. Organizations are complex webs of
people, places, and resources, and they must invest in their resilience.
However, given the recurring financial crises and rapidly
changing political and business environments, this presents a
number of challenges. Challenges include the difficulty of understanding
an organization’s resilience before they are tested
through crisis and gaps in understanding of the links between
organizational resilience and business as usual profitability and
competitiveness.
