The focus of this thesis is to investigate resilience at an organisational level. The
research aims to identify and establish the features of resilience within the response of
an organisation to disruptive and crisis events. Natural disasters, pandemic disease,
terrorist attacks, economic recession, equipment failure and human error can all pose
both a potentially unpredictable and severe threat to the continuity of an
organisation’s operations. As a result, disruptive events highlight the need to develop
robust and resilient organisational and infrastructural systems capable of adapting
and overcoming complex disruptive events. [Continues.]
