Organizing for Resilience offers a groundbreaking and innovative perspective on the research on how leaders can equip their organizations to navigate the challenges and disruptions posed by a turbulent and unpredictable world. It provides a comprehensive and holistic analysis of organizational resilience, offering fresh theoretical and research insights as well as significant implications for leaders.

The first book to synthesize themes from various resilience perspectives, using the metaphor of a 'resilience landscape,' chapters in Part I delve into five analytical levels: individual resilience, small firms facing significant disruptions that can jeopardize their survival, large firms experiencing disruptions in specific parts of their organization, large firms facing enterprise-wide disruptions, and disruptions affecting entire communities or economic ecosystems comprised of individuals and organizations.

To bring these topics to life, cases and practical insights are presented, fostering reflection and debate at each level. In Part II, the concept of the 'resilience landscape' is further developed, along with a discussion on leadership for resilience by fostering a resilience mindset and developing capabilities in relational resilience.

This book is highly suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in strategy, organizational behavior, and leadership. It also serves as a valuable resource for PhD and DBA researchers in the field of resilience and strategy, as well as practicing consultants and business leaders.
