This open access book brings together scholars in the fields of management public policy
regional studies and organization theory around the concept of resilience. The aim is to
provide a more holistic understanding of the complex phenomenon of resilience from a
multi-sectorial cross-national and multidisciplinary perspective. The book facilitates a
conversation across diverse disciplinary specializations and empirical domains. The authors
contribute both to theory testing and theory development and provide key empirical insights
useful for societies organizations and individuals experiencing disruptive pressures not
least in the context of a post-COVID-19 world. Diverse chapters are held together by a clear
organization of the volume across levels of analysis (resilience in organizations and
societies) and by an original perspective on resilience derived from an extended review by the
editors of the existing literature and knowledge gaps according to which each of the
individual chapter contributions is positioned and connected to.
