"This volume offers a much-needed addition to resilience studies, focusing on the often- overlooked need for leaders to consider potential environmental disruptions as a regular part of their strategic planning processes. The authors do a remarkable job of illustrating this process through a series of case studies at distinct yet overlapping levels of analysis. The resulting insights, which build on useful theory from multiple disciplines, enable the authors to draw implications for the need for leaders to quite intentionally chart and navigate the resilience landscapes in which their organizations are situated. Students, scholars, and managers alike will benefit greatly from learning how to think and act in ways that enable them to organize for resilience." - Dr. William Kahn, Boston University, Questrom School of Business, USA"This very accessible book approaches the issues around organisational resilience from a grounded academic start point but then is able to, very deftly, weave in real world examples and situations that demonstrate the value of resilience-related practice. In this way, I see this book being of great interest and use to both practitioners and academics alike, on one of the most important issues of the day." - Dr. Ran Bharma, Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical & Manufacturing Engineering, UK "Williams and You’s book is a very timely and insightful addition to the literature on organizational resilience and will be useful both for the academic community as well as managers and leaders grappling with disruptions at a strategic level. The authors cover a wide range of case evidence and literature set in a multi-level framework and provide an interesting metaphor in terms of their depiction of the ‘Resilience Landscape’." - Dr. Yanto Chandra, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, HK"The book 'Organizing for Resilience' provides an important addition to the literature on organizational resilience. The book offers analytical insights across multiple analytical levels: the resilience of individual employees within an organization, the resilience of organizations when confronted with shocks and disruptions, and the resilience of communities and economies when confronted with large-scale disruptions such as those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The book is a comprehensive resource for researchers and practitioners alike and offers valuable case examples for leaders of both small and large organizations who seek to prepare their organizations for an increasingly turbulent and unpredictable future." - Professor Martina Linnenluecke, Macquarie University, AU
