Abstract
Resilience denotes the capacity of a system to withstand shocks and its ability to
recover from them. We develop a framework to quantify the resilience of highly
volatile, non-equilibrium social organizations, such as collectives or
collaborating teams. It consists of four steps: (i) delimitation, i.e.,
narrowing down the target systems, (ii) conceptualization, i.e.,
identifying how to approach social organizations, (iii) formal
representation using a combination of agent-based and network models, (iv)
operationalization, i.e. specifying measures and demonstrating how they
enter the calculation of resilience. Our framework quantifies two dimensions of
resilience, the robustness of social organizations and their
adaptivity, and combines them in a novel resilience measure. It allows
monitoring resilience instantaneously using longitudinal data instead of an
ex-post evaluation. Mehr anzeigen
