Abstract

Organizations must make the effort to adapt continuously in order to maintain their competitive edge and remain viable in uncertain environments. Crises highlight the identity of an organization; the latter is composed of structure, strategy and management, as well as the notion of a culture. Organizational culture is a key element for the efficient management of crises and, consequently, it directly affects the capacity of an organization to be resilient. Complexity lived through and within a crisis is an ambiguous decision, an uncertain choice in the face of a mode that is perpetually changing and volatile. Organizational crises impact organizations that must implement a great number of possible scenarios in order to become resilient, knowing that only some of the scenarios will work. Resilience is the emergent property of organizational systems that is related to inherent and adaptive qualities and capacities that make it possible for an organization to adapt in a period of turbulence.
