Ekonomická bezpečnosť podniku v koncepte cyklu ekonomickej odolnosti podniku

Abstract

Economic security of the enterprise is increasingly studied by scholars to address not only the profit-maximisation goal of an enterprise but also other important areas of stakeholder interest. Risk management, crisis management, and business continuity management do not focus solely on profit maximisation but also on minimising harm to the enterprise. The degree ofnharm reduction depends strongly on the enterprise’s ability to mitigate risks, take timely reactive crisis management actions, andmaintain recovery time objectives in the event of business interruption. Therefore, the enterprise, as a socio-economic system,can be characterised by capacities that enable it to build its own economic resilience. The aim of this paper is to provide a framework for the economic resilience cycle of the enterprise, based on an analysis ofliterature on ecological, engineering, adaptive, and economic resilience. The cycle consists of prevention, absorption, recovery,and adaptation phases, culminating in a higher level of prevention. Capacities such as robustness, recoverability, adaptability,redundancy, agility, resourcefulness, and flexibility are further discussed. This concept helps to understand the current state andfuture outlook of the economic security of the enterprise.
