Understanding Resilience Paradigms in Management: Trends and Praxis

Resilience has become an increasingly important topic in the field of management, as organizations are facing a growing number of challenges, such as natural disasters, economic downturns, and cyberattacks (Hannan et al., 2016; Hart & Schultz, 2017). Resilience in organizations is defined as the ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions in a timely and efficient manner (Hannan et al., 2016). The study of resilience in management has evolved over time to include a broader understanding of the concept, from the traditional reactive approach to more proactive measures. The purpose of this research paper is to explore the resilience paradigms in management, with a focus on both theory and praxis. The paper will review the literature on resilience in management and identify the different resilience paradigms that have been proposed in the literature. The paper will also examine the practical implications of these paradigms, specifically how organizations can apply these paradigms to build resilience. This research will be useful for management practitioners and researchers interested in understanding how organizations can become more resilient in the face of disruption.
