    Overview
    In past decades, many natural disasters and social crises that occurred even before the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic have directed the attention of many scholars towards organizational resilience. There have been many reviews and reconceptualizations of this construct that are paramount for rigorous future research which have highlighted the complex multi-level nature of this phenomenon. However, a critical view of organizational resilience seems to be left out of the conversation. With this panel symposium, we expand the discussion - both from academic and practitioners' perspectives - by delineating and discussing three underlying trade-offs: 1) Efficiency vs. resilience, 2) Buffering vs. adaptation, 3) System resilience vs. component resilience. While doing this, we elaborate on the multi-level sources and mechanisms leading to organizational resilience as well as associated challenges.

    Sponsors: Strategic Management (STR), Organizational and Management Theory (OMT)

    We encourage participants to email Ekin Ilseven (ekin.ilseven@insead.edu) questions to the panelists in advance. We will also provide the opportunity to submit questions during the Q&A part.

    Looking forward to meeting you soon and to an engaging discussion!

    Regards,
    Ekin Ilseven
