This study investigates the intersection of digital transformation, business resilience, and marketing capabilities, focusing on small businesses and startups. The digital revolution has significantly transformed business operations, supply chain management, and overall organizational performance. Conducted following PRISMA guidelines, this systematic literature review used the Scopus database, refining an initial 247 documents to 51 relevant studies. Key trends include the vital role of digital transformation in enhancing resilience, the use of emerging technologies for sustainable supply chains, and the importance of digital skills and knowledge management. Research highlights the implications of digital marketing and e-commerce adoption for SMEs, revealing the need for firms to develop dynamic capabilities to thrive in turbulent environments. However, gaps remain, such as understanding the long-term impacts of digital transformation, the interactions between digital maturity, innovation, and sustainability, and the necessity for comparative studies across industries and regions. Additionally, investigating how marketing capabilities contribute to resilience is essential, enabling small businesses and startups to withstand and recover from disruptions. Addressing these trends and gaps will enhance our understanding of digital transformation’s multifaceted implications for SMEs and startups, helping them leverage marketing capabilities to navigate challenges and seize opportunities in the digital era.

“…Several cities have already begun demonstrating the effectiveness of such climate adaptation strategies. For example, Rotterdam has developed an extensive network of green roofs and water plazas, countering the city's increasing risk of flooding due to climate change [97]. Similarly, Melbourne's Urban Forest Strategy, which aims to double tree cover by 2040, is mitigating the urban heat island effect and enhancing the city's resilience to rising temperatures.…”

Climate change threatens urban areas globally. Enhancing resilience is crucial, yet the comprehensive clustering of practical climate adaptation measures for use in construction industry decision-making is notably absent. This study investigates and categorizes various climate adaptation measures, justifying each through a lens of risk management, asset management, and previous scientific work. It takes advantage of the innovative digital platform Netobra, which offers an ecosystem for the construction industry, to provide real-world, practical implications of these measures. Informed by the Urban Resilience Evaluation System, ISO 31000 (risk management), and ISO 55000 (asset management), the study sets out to demonstrate the value of these measures in bolstering urban resilience and improving decision-making in the construction industry. Moreover, the study integrates a hotspot detection mechanism for areas at high risk of climate impacts, using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA)—analytic hierarchy process (AHP) mapping on Netobra. These identified hotspots and corresponding climate adaptation measures will further be incorporated into a Risk-Informed Asset-Centric (RIACT) process, providing valuable insights for climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in urban development. Through its in-depth analysis, the study aims to contribute to the understanding of how diverse climate adaptation measures can be practically applied in various sectors, thereby enhancing urban resilience and effective risk and asset management.

“…In the context of the RIACT process, GISs thus serve as an essential tool in effectively analysing and evaluating urban resilience, transforming raw data into meaningful information that can inform decision making and policy development [108][109][110]. Our analysis utilizes Python for applying the entropy weighting method and QGIS 3.32 for managing geospatial data, including its extraction, preprocessing, and spatial representation.…”

This study introduces the Risk-Informed Asset-Centric (RIACT) process, a novel approach aimed at enhancing the safety and resilience of urban infrastructures against natural and man-made disasters. The RIACT method stands out for its comprehensive analysis of potential disruptions to urban areas, encompassing their susceptibility to disasters, vulnerability factors, and recovery capabilities. This study’s primary focus is on Portugal’s 308 municipalities, assessing their preparedness and ability to recover from earthquake events. Methodologically, the study involved employing geographic information system (GIS) mapping to evaluate earthquake risks, combining data on regional risk areas, demographic and economic profiles, and resilience capacities. This approach provides a detailed understanding of each municipality’s strengths and areas in need of improvement, encouraging a collaborative framework for sharing and implementing best practices. The results reveal significant variations in earthquake resilience across different regions, highlighting the need for tailored resilience strategies. Conclusively, the RIACT method not only enhances the resilience of individual municipalities but also contributes to a broader national strategy for urban resilience, offering valuable insights for effective disaster risk management and recovery planning.
