“…Since, many financial organizations operating with high-scale digitization in pursuit of prevention against possible discontinuities and disruptions attempt to nurture their electronic or technology enabled business initiatives independently from all other systems and processes. This shows sync with the understanding organizations undergo the cyclic process of learning through acquiring and implementing updated knowledge for increasing the organizational resilience while thriving successfully in face of disorder and uncertainty (Jørgensen & Pedersen, 2010).…”

“…What future will bring seems to be highly unpredictable in modern world of improbability and instability. Organizations must as a component of unlearning and methodically undergo the cyclic process of learning through acquiring and implementing updated knowledge for increasing the organizational resilience while thriving successfully in face of disorder and uncertainty (Jørgensen & Pedersen, 2010).…”

The paper seeks to examine the effect of knowledge management on resilience and performance of emergent financial technology startups (Fintechs) in Lahore, Pakistan through the development of dynamic capabilities when confronted with environmental dynamism. Based on the tentative deductions derived from Dynamic Capability View (DCV) of emergent financial sector ventures, this paper employs Partial Least Square for Structured Equation Modeling to investigate these hypotheses. Sample of current cross-sectional study involves empirical analysis performed on primary data assembled from knowledge workers employed in emergent financial technology startups. Knowledge management practices also have a positive impact on the developing dynamic capabilities of the organization. Implementation of effective knowledge management practices results in reconfiguring and advancing the companies’ dynamic competencies under the conditions of dynamism and unexpected changes occurring in the external business environment. Consequently, fin-techs succeed in accomplishing their goals of spirit, adaptive capacity i.e. increased resilience and escalated performance.

“…DLF is one of the oldest and largest trade unions in Denmark: founded in 1874 it has had a continuous presence in education ever since. The union had an estimated density of 97 per cent in 2011 (Jørgensen and Pedersen, 2011). This implies a stable flow of membership dues, a part of which was directed to a strike fund that had not been used before 2013 (Andersen et al, 2008: 261).…”

The changing composition of trade unions has far-reaching consequences for the relationship between unions and the polity. In particular, the concentration of trade union membership in the public sector-a process that has been taking place in most EU countries-implies a shift away from collective agreements towards legislation as the dominant way of managing employment relations. Pluralist models of collective bargaining assume a neutral, mediating role of the state, but in the public sector the state by definition acts as an employer as well. The state is equipped with the sovereign power to circumvent traditional bargaining agreements and force its will upon trade unions through legislation. The article investigates major bargaining disputes in Europe after 2008, focusing on two countries (Ireland and Denmark) that have different political environments and that, although affected differently by the financial crisis, underwent similar government interventions in labour relations. The findings suggest that a shift towards legislation is a tendency that affects all types of industrial relations systems.

“…The link to organizational learning is for the most part made in relation to the role of problem formulation in knowledge creation (Lyles, 2014;Nickerson et al, 2007), and only a couple of exceptions that we know of (Hewing, 2013;Jørgensen and Perderson, 2010) mention unlearning, albeit without substantial elaboration. There is thus a need to expand the role of problem formulation in knowledge creation and organizational learning if it can be usefully conceptualized as a process that entails not just one, but both sides of the coin, that is, learning and unlearning, such that they are mutually supportive in creating knowledge and organizational learning.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to conceptualize what it means to be resilient in the face of our current reality of indisputable turbulence and uncertainty, suggest that continual metamorphosis is key to resilience, demonstrate the role of unlearning in that metamorphosis and suggest that problem formulation is a key deliberate mechanism of driving continual cycles of learning and unlearning. Design/methodology/approachThe paper entails a conceptual analysis. FindingsIt is found that both the unlearning and resilience literature streams are stuck in a paradigm whereby organizational behavior entails adaptation to the external environment and reaction to crisis. This paper suggests that, given a world of turbulence and uncertainty, a more useful paradigm is one where organizations take action before action is desperately needed, and that they proactively contribute to enacting their environment via their own continual metamorphosis. Research limitations/implicationsFuture research should explore further the factors that can facilitate sensing the early warning signs, and facilitate the cyclical learning-unlearning process of metamorphosis. Practical implicationsThe primary practical implication is that to ensure strategic resilience, managers must be able to identify early warning signs and initiate metamorphosis. This means understanding the processes needed to support unlearning, namely, problem formulation. Originality/valueThe originality and value of the present paper lies in that it suggests a shift in paradigm from adaptation and reaction, to action and enactment. Further, it proposes a cyclical process of learning and unlearning that together define periods of metamorphosis, and suggests problem formulation, whereby the mission statement is assessed and revised, as a mechanism in that endeavor.
