Abstract

The systematic literature review (SLR) investigates Entrepreneurial Resilience (ER) in the context of recent global disruptions. Drawing on peer-reviewed literature, the study reframes ER as a dynamic capability influenced by psychological resilience, particularly self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and adaptability. It also explores the vital role of digital technologies in facilitating entrepreneurial adaptation and continuity during times of uncertainty. Two key contributions are presented: first, a reconceptualisation of ER that aligns with emerging research on global entrepreneurial demands; and second, a recognition of digitalisation as a core enabler of resilience. Building on these findings, the study introduces the ER model that integrates Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Cultural Intelligence (CQ), and essential entrepreneurial traits. The comprehensive model provides practical strategies for entrepreneurs operating in international and volatile markets. The research positions ER as a critical factor for sustainable growth and competitiveness in today’s rapidly changing global landscape.
