RETRACTED: Corporate sustainability amidst environmental change: Efficiency versus resilience (Retracted Article)

This study compares resilience-based organizing with efficiency-based organizing and argues that the former can significantly improve the sustainability of firms in the midst of environmental changes. Based on the comparison, I claim that resilience-based organizing exhibits paradoxical properties of change and stability and suggest that balancing this paradox pushes firms to self-organize during environmental changes while protecting their core business functioning. Specifically, drawing upon systems ecologist's perspective on resilience, this study describes the self-adaptive process that helps firms manage the trade-off between change and stability. I then elaborate how resilience-based organizing ensures the establishment of processes that are integral to the achievement of long-term outcomes and adaptability, which is relatively obscured in efficiency-based organizing.
