“…In addition, Holling's approach has other problematic aspects, such as the potentially unfair and unjust consequences of applying an "experimental" attitude to social contexts [85]. These and other morally sensitive issues around resilience deserve more attention than they have received to date [10,86].…”

“…Our account therefore impinges on points that are key to address in framing resilience for resilience-based interventions, but it also leaves out many critical decisions that belong to later stages of these interventions; examples abound. One is how to choose indicators of resilience and what are the problems involved, for instance, in normalization, aggregation, or in comparing the resilience of complex systems that differ in many dimensions, such as cities [86]. Also in need of further research is the question of how our characterization of resilience could inform the development and prioritization of concrete resilience-based strategies and policy, be it at a corporate, city, or country level [87].…”

Making Sense of Resilience

While resilience is a major concept in development, climate adaptation, and related domains, many doubts remain about how to interpret this term, its relationship with closely overlapping terms, or its normativity. One major view is that, while resilience originally was a descriptive concept denoting some adaptive property of ecosystems, subsequent applications to social contexts distorted its meaning and purpose by framing it as a transformative and normative quality. This article advances an alternative philosophical account based on the scrutiny of C.S. Holling’s original work on resilience. We show that resilience had a central role among Holling’s proposals for reforming environmental science and management, and that Holling framed resilience as an ecosystem’s capacity of absorbing change and exploiting it for adapting or evolving, but also as the social ability of maintaining and opportunistically exploiting that natural capacity. Resilience therefore appears as a transformative social-ecological property that is normative in three ways: as an intrinsic ecological value, as a virtue of organizations or management styles, and as a virtuous understanding of human–nature relations. This interpretation accounts for the practical relevance of resilience, clarifies the relations between resilience and related terms, and is a firm ground for further normative work on resilience.

PurposeThe purpose of the current literature reviews to contribute to the study of organisational resilience. The study intends to understand the role of dynamic capability flow in creating more resilient business communities. The study tries to relate to how continuous learning enables business communities to plan for, respond to and bounce back from disasters.Design/methodology/approachA structured literature review of 38 empirical studies indicates organisational resilience and highlights the dynamic attributes of organisational resilience and the importance of knowledge interactions and information sharing.FindingsContinuous learning results in complex dynamic capability manifested through research and innovations, technological implementations, social learnings and community knowledge sharing. This clearly emphasises the role of dynamic capabilities in fostering disaster resilience in organisations and business communities.Research limitations/implicationsResearch limitations on continuous learning can be cited as to incorporate case study methods related to organisational experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic while also reviewing digital knowledge transfer strategies and influencing factors.Practical implicationsThe study for fostering resilience in the business ecosystem needs to be embedded in the continuous learning process, and it also includes knowledge sharing and collaboration, both externally and internally, for the business community.Social implicationsSocial implications for this study relate to the seamless flow of the knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing process. The dynamic process of organisational and the business community resilience is a key outcome of this knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer process.Originality/valueA conceptual framework was developed from the review, emphasising how dynamic capabilities through continuous learning enhance business community resilience.

“…Some recent studies (Copeland et al, 2020) [14] have underlined the transformative aspects of resilience and the normative implications of measuring it, where adaptive and transformative capacities (Parsons et al, 2016) [15] are related to spatial context characteristics, top-down or bottom-up methods and inherent properties of a socio-economic system expressed by the ability of individuals, stakeholders, and communities to learn from and respond to changes, in a dynamic process [16,17] (Cutter, 2016;Saja et al 2019). resilience and sustainability [50] has been remaining a challenge for specialists, academicians, and DM.…”

A Spatial Decision Support System for Multi-Functional Landscape Assessment: A Transformative Resilience Perspective for Vulnerable Inland Areas

The concept of transformative resilience emerges from complex recent literature and represents a way to interpret the potential opportunities to change in vulnerable territories, where a socio-economic change is required. This article extends the perspective of transformative resilience to assessing of the landscape multi-functionality of inland areas, exploring the potentials to identify a network of synergies among the different municipalities able to trigger a process of territorial resilience. A Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) for multi-functionality landscape assessment aims to support the local actors to understand local resources and multi-functional values of the Partenio Regional Park (PRP) and surrounding municipalities, in the South of Italy, stimulating their cooperation to the management of environmental and cultural sites and the co-design of new strategies of enhancement.
