CONCEPTUALIZING ORGANIZATIONAL RESILIENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT THEORIES

Abstract

Organizational resilience has become a significant concept in management and organizational studies; however, its conceptualization remains inconsistent and insufficiently defined. This study aims to conceptualize organizational resilience in the context of strategic management theories by developing a theoretically grounded conceptual model. A structured and comparative analysis of the scholarly literature was conducted using comparison, classification, systematization, generalization, and synthesis methods. The analysis shows that the resource-based view, the knowledge-based view, and the dynamic capabilities perspective provide complementary explanations of how resilience develops through internal strategic resources, knowledge capital, and capabilities. The proposed model explains organizational resilience as a cyclically developing outcome arising from the interaction between knowledge capital management and dynamic capabilities.
