商品描述

Our world is becoming ever more complex. Among the geopolitical and macroeconomic issues currently facing mankind, with serious ramifications for our future, are digitalization and technology, climate change, and globalization. Political upheaval, wars, natural disasters, economic recessions, and pandemics, have all had massive negative impacts on our society. In this new world, various governmental and organizational decisionmakers - including managers, international agencies, NGOs, political leaders, economists, science & technology innovators, and medical professionals - must all learn to anticipate and deal with these emergent risks, the integration of which, along with the management of 'black swan' events, has assumed paramount importance. This is the huge challenge now facing us.

This book, aimed at both academics and practitioners, shows how a framework for resilience can be created to help modern organizations to not only survive but to thrive. The author considers some of the organizations and bodies that can be said to be highly resilient and examines how 'Resilience Thinking' affects different disciplines and environments. He addresses the question of how resilience works and how it is applied in practice. The relationship between resilience and other knowledge areas such as complexity theory, strategy, and risk management - from both top-down and bottom-up perspectives - is examined. Situations are identified where there is a particular need for resilience, and an overview of the best ways of implementing a resilience process is offered.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

我們的世界正變得越來越複雜。在當前人類面臨的地緣政治和宏觀經濟問題中,數位化與科技、氣候變遷以及全球化等議題對我們的未來產生了嚴重的影響。政治動盪、戰爭、自然災害、經濟衰退和疫情等,都對我們的社會造成了巨大的負面影響。在這個新世界中,各種政府和組織的決策者——包括經理人、國際機構、非政府組織、政治領袖、經濟學家、科學與技術創新者以及醫療專業人士——必須學會預測並應對這些新興風險,這些風險的整合以及對「黑天鵝」事件的管理已變得至關重要。這是當前我們面臨的巨大挑戰。

本書旨在為學術界和實務界提供指導,展示如何建立一個韌性框架,以幫助現代組織不僅生存下去,還能蓬勃發展。作者考察了一些被認為具有高度韌性的組織和機構,並探討「韌性思維」如何影響不同的學科和環境。他討論了韌性如何運作以及如何在實踐中應用的問題。韌性與其他知識領域之間的關係,例如複雜性理論、策略和風險管理——從自上而下和自下而上的視角進行了檢視。書中還指出了特別需要韌性的情境,並提供了實施韌性過程的最佳方法概述。
