Organisational resilience: development of a conceptual framework for organisational responses (2011, background): “However, the concept of adaptive capacity may also lead to establishing new system equilibriums or stability domains, allowing a system to adapt to new environments (Fiksel 2006).”
Resilience and robustness in policy design: a critical appraisal (2017, background): “However, due to the increasing interconnectedness of the various spheres of social and political activity, there is an emerging recognition of the need to adopt a systemic approach to resilience that focuses on the resilience of complex systems in response to shock (Fiksel 2006; Duit et al. 2010).”
Conceptualization of SMEs’ business resilience: A systematic literature review (2021, background): “Following the proactive definition,(see Bhamra et al., 2011; Fiksel, 2006; Hamel & Valikangas, 2003) firm resilience in this study refers to the ability to perform well, adapt and even develop new capabilities within changing environments.”
What we know and do not know about organizational resilience (2018, background): “…(Hollnagel, 2010; Linnenluecke & Griffiths, 2010; Mamouni Limnios et al., 2014; Tillement et al., 2009); threats (Bhamidipaty et al., 2007; Dewald & Bowen, 2010) or changes (Fiksel, 2006; T O Grøtan & Asbjørnslett, 2007; Mafabi et al., 2015; Milanzi & Weeks, 2014; Stewart & O’Donnell, 2007).”
Triggering transitions towards sustainable development of the Dutch agricultural sector: TransForum’s approach (2011, background): “Finally, it is important to realise that agriculture and regional development (green space) are all part of the same complex adaptive system, making it essential to address sustainable development as a system dynamic property (Fiksel, 2006).”
Smart city intellectual capital: an emerging view of territorial systems innovation management (2015, background): “Given its rooting in systems thinking (Fiksel, 2006; Luhmann, 1995; Brondizio et al., 2009) , the smart city approach never considers an organisation in isolation, even in the case where the organization being studied is the core one (i.e. the public body in charge of the city administration).”
Strengths and weaknesses of common sustainability indices for multidimensional systems. (2008, methodology): “Its use in other disciplines and application to multidimensional systems is increasing, particularly with respect to sustainable systems management (Walker et al., 2002; Mayer et al., 2004; Folke et al., 2005; Fiksel, 2006; Garmestani et al., 2006; Kinzig et al., 2006).”
