Economic and financial crises have brought the rise of unemployment, reduction of economic growth and emergence of global imbalances and tensions as countries and regions have suffered the effects of a variety of internal and external shocks. In this context of constant disruption, the scientific community has struggled to provide satisfactory answers to current economic challenges within standard frameworks. Focusing on the interconnections between innovation and resilience, this edited book contributes to a better understanding of how the crisis affects innovation and the capacity of territories to adapt and evolve. It offers both theoretical and empirical contributions that debate the notions of resilience in regional and urban contexts and serve as case studies related to innovation strategies and territorial clusters.

Resilience has emerged as a recurrent notion to explain how territorial socio-economic systems adapt successfully (or not) to negative events. In this book, the authors use resilience as a bridging notion to connect different types of theoretical and empirical approaches to help understand the impacts of economic turbulence at the system and actor levels. The book provides a unique overview of the financial crisis and the important dimension of innovation dynamics for regional resilience. It also offers an engaging debate as to how regional resilience can be improved and explores the social aspects of vulnerability, resilience and innovation.

La mondialisation, par le perpétuel mouvement qu’elle déploie, fait basculer de nombreux territoires dans un équilibre instable. Face à cette déferlante, des pays, des régions, des villes, des zones rurales voient leurs valeurs et leur identité s’éroder et leurs sources internes de développement économique, social, politique et culturel brutalement soumises à des éléments dont ils n’ont plus tout à fait la maîtrise. Ces menaces et contraintes sont réelles, et de nombreux terri-toires subissent aujourd’hui de plein fouet les effets déstructurants et parfois irréversibles) de la mondialisation. Cependant, l’expérience montre que certains territoires s’en sortent mieux que d’autres en résistant, en s’adaptant, voire en se réinventant par rapport à la -mondialisation. C’est en regard de ces exemples que la notion de « résilience territoriale » prend tout son sens. Pour un territoire, être résilient -consiste non seulement à générer en son sein des capacités de résistance et d’adaptation lui permettant de maintenir ou de retrouver les bases de son développement et de sa spécificité à la suite de chocs plus ou moins brutaux (« résilience statique »), mais également à inventer et à déployer de nouvelles ressources et capacités lui permettant de s’insérer favorablement dans la dynamique de transformation impulsée par l’évolution rapide de l’environnement socioéconomique (« résilience dynamique »). Par la démonstration du caractère multiforme et accidenté des trajectoires de résilience de différents territoires, les auteurs de cet ouvrage apportent un éclairage analytique et empirique approfondi des contraintes et perspectives d’adaptation dans le nouveau contexte compétitif global.

Managerial, organizational, and entrepreneurial scholars across disciplines have discussed the topic of resilience from developed economies, yet much remains unknown on its practice during modern times and the crises that have recently affected daily lives, business, and workplaces. Moreover, few experiences of economic instability have been reported from emerging countries, where global competition, economic, social, environmental, and sanitary concerns remain as real challenges. It is essential that both researchers and practitioners explore new perspectives and tools to study resilience at many diverse levels and contexts. The Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurship and Organizational Resilience During Unprecedented Times explores experiences in different managerial, organizational, and entrepreneurial issues, particularly from the perspective of emerging countries. By investigating different levels with interdisciplinary approaches and integrative frameworks, it advances new perspectives for future research. Covering topics such as employee creativity, economic crisis, and supply chain management, this major reference work is an indispensable resource for entrepreneurs, business leaders and executives, marketing managers, human resource managers, organization behavior specialists, consultants, government officials, politicians, librarians, students and faculty of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
