Assessing a farm's sustainability: insights from resilience thinking (2010, background): “It is by no means obvious what leads to resilience in a complex adaptive system, or which variables should be measured in a given study of resilience (Cumming et al., 2005).”
Critical natural capital revisited: Ecological resilience and sustainable development (2009, background): “That means, it is also possible to estimate the degree of threat by means of other resilience surrogates, such as resilience mechanisms(e.g.Nystrom, 2006),maintainedsystem identity ( Cumming et al., 2005 ) or percolation theory (Peterson, 2002).”
Understanding Resilience in a Vulnerable Industry: the Case of Reef Tourism in Australia (2011, positive): “Measuring present day or future resilience, in the absence of a historical analysis of a threshold-crossing event, requires the use of resilience surrogates (Carpenter et al. 2005, Cumming et al. 2005).”
Linking local vulnerability to system sustainability in a resilience framework: two cases from Latin America (2009, background): “What is “desirable” or “undesirable” is ultimately subjective, and ideally determined by participants and actors within the system ( Cumming et al. 2005 ), although part of the challenge for sustainability is reconciling the needs of diverse individuals, particularly vulnerable individuals, with the”
Resilience in ecology: Abstraction, distraction, or where the action is? (2014, background): “some time, and various authors have called for steps to render resilience more operational (e.g., Carpenter et al., 2001; Cumming et al., 2005).”
Measuring 'subjective resilience': using peoples' perceptions to quantify household resilience (2015, neutral): “Unfortunately, the assessment of resilience is fraught with complexity: both the definition of resilience and the methodologies used to measure it are heavily contested (Cumming et al., 2005).”
Focusing the Meaning(s) of Resilience: Resilience as a Descriptive Concept and a Boundary Object (2007, background): “This includes explicating the precise boundary of the regime, the set of variables of interest, and the expected internal degree of relationships, as well as the component resolution (Jax et al. 1998, 2006, Cumming et al. 2005).”
Organisational resilience: development of a conceptual framework for organisational responses (2011, background): “However, as reflected by Garengo and Bernardi (2007), SMEs typically function in a reactive manner focusing on operational and technical issues.”
Searching for resilience: the impact of employee-level and entrepreneur-level resilience on firm performance in small family firms (2020, positive): “…of Rome “Link Campus”, Via del Casale di San Pio, V, 44, 00197 Rome, Italy e-mail: m.delgiudice@unilink.it M. Del Giudice Paris School of Business, 59 Rue Nationale, 75013 Paris, France M. Del Giudice National Research University–Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia (Cumming et al. 2005).”
Capturing the cornerstones of coral reef resilience: linking theory to practice (2008, background): “For example, reefs that suffer coral mortality can be temporarily colonized by opportunistic filamentous algae (McCook 1999; Diaz-Pulido and McCook 2002).”
