Abstract

While scholars have been elaborating on the nature and scope of the resilience for some time, the contemporary era of monumental disruptions have elevated this topic to the top of scholarly and practical attention. Yet, there is much confusion and ambiguity about how it should be defined and measured. In addition, definitions of resilience appear to vary greatly across disciplines. Given these shortcomings, this study first presents a framing of resilience definition using categorization of attributes under process, structure and strategic move/action, emanating from cross-disciplinary foundation. Second, the study offers conjectures and propositions for multinational enterprises (MNEs) under process, structure and strategic move/action drawing ideas from social, mechanical, and ecological literature regarding this construct. Third, we present a new frame-based methodological approach in presenting the attributes and subordinate concepts of resilience.
