ABSTRACT
What happens when a fire strikes at the manufacturing plant of the sole supplier of semiconductors used in millions of cell phones? What can a food company do when the natural environment from which it draws its resources is increasingly degraded? And how can a company increase its fitness with respect to unforeseeable challenges? To survive and thrive in the face of stress and disruption, a company can seek for enterprise resilience, which we here define as the capacity of business to survive, successfully adapt and prosper in the face of change and uncertainty related to disturbances with a high impact and a low probability.
