“…For example, resilience can be related to surviving or adapting to: disruptions (Bell, 2002;Horne III & Orr, 1998;Lengnick-Hall et al, 2011;, disasters or catastrophic events ; (Alblas & Jayaram, 2015); challenging conditions (Sutcliffe & Vogus, 2003;Vogus & Sutcliffe, 2007); disturbances (Hollnagel, 2010;Mamouni Limnios et al, 2014;Tillement et al, 2009); threats Dewald & Bowen, 2010) or changes (Fiksel, 2006;Mafabi et al, 2015;. However, some authors consider that these changes can also be opportunities (Ates & Bititci, 2011;Bhamidipaty et al, 2007;Dewald & Bowen, 2010), and resilient organizations take advantage of these opportunities.…”

“…Others acknowledge that an organization is resilient if it returns to the same point or if it achieves another state of stability (i.e., it changes, while minimizing the effects due to changes and hazards) Demmer et al, 2011). Some authors consider that a resilient organization can also bounce forward, grow or become stronger (Bell, 2002;Fiksel, 2006;Vogus & Sutcliffe, 2007). Woods (2015) identifies four meanings of resilience that bring four interpretations of "surviving".…”

“…Others state that the disruption or change is turbulent (Ates & Bititci, 2011;Bauernhansl et al, 2012;Fiksel, 2006). Others consider that resilience refers to both expected and unexpected events Hollnagel, 2010;Wright et al, 2012).…”

We present a literature review about organizational resilience, with the goal of identifying how organizational resilience is conceptualized and assessed. The two research questions that drive the review are: (1) how is organizational resilience conceptualized? and (2) how is organizational resilience assessed? We answer the first question by analyzing organizational resilience definitions and the attributes or characteristics that contribute to develop resilient organizations. We answer the second question by reviewing articles that focus on tools or methods to measure organizational resilience. Although there are three different ways to define organizational resilience, we found common ideas in the definitions. We also found that organizational resilience is considered a property, ability or capability that can be improved over time. However, we did not find consensus about the elements that contribute to improving the level of organizational resilience and how to assess it. Based on the results of the review, we propose a conceptualization of organizational resilience that integrates the three views found in the literature. We also propose a four-level Maturity Model for Organizational Resilience -MMOR. Using this model, the organization can be in one of the following levels based on its ability and capacity to handle disruptive events: fragile, robust, resilient or antifragile.

“…Figure 5 depicts the role of ritual slaughter within the broader context of sustainable development. The issue of sustainability has been approached through a variety of conceptual frameworks and tools (Fiksel 2006;Zhang and Bakshi 2010;Burns 2012). It has value for sustaining small minority communities in the North, which are geographically isolated in global terms, and is thus crucial for the northern economy, which depends on human capital from outside the region (Larsen and Fondahl 2014).…”

Northern countries are facing the challenges of declining human capital, and admitting immigrants, many of whom belong to religious minorities, to satisfy the demand for labour. If northern societies accept multiculturalism and immigrants, they should not disregard the cultures and religious practices (for example, ritual slaughter) of immigrants, as they need to survive and integrate as a minority community in a secular society. However, there is clash between secularism and religions permitting animal slaughter, which is prohibited by some and allowed by other European countries. Community viability and sustainability depend partly on the exercise of community beliefs and ideology that support identity behaviour. This study will present an ethnographic analysis of the religiosity related to ritual slaughter and Muslim cultural identity in the European Arctic region and explore how religious relativism and practice sustain the community and support the overall integration of the Muslim minority in the North.
