Defining Resilience: C.S. Holling

Definition of Resilience In 1973, C S Holling introduced the term "elasticity" in ecological literature as a way of understanding the nonlinear dynamics observed in ecosystems. Elasticity theory refers to the ability of social ecosystems to resist shock and to rebuild and reconstruct themselves. According to father of CS Holling's resilience theory, "Whatever you do, the climate will change, some of it will happen suddenly, some of them will be in danger.

The origin of modern elastic theory can be traced back to CS Holling's paper published in 1973, which is "the sustainability of relations within the system" and "the ability of these systems to absorb changes in state variables" - Pursuit of flexibility is an integral part of adaptive capacity development. This is not an almost universal rule, but as a general rule, an essential feature of a flexible system can be learned and reorganized according to changing conditions.

In ecological science, elastic studies began more than 40 years ago. 1973, C.I. Holling has announced the first results on complex and dynamic research on ecological changes. Holling believes that ecosystems may exist under various dynamic stability (dynamic equilibrium) conditions, after interference, ecosystems bounce back to the original state before interference or New equilibrium conditions degenerate to a more diverse and less active state too much interference can lead to system degradation, but at the same time periodic interference (within limits), ecosystems are more diverse You can help transition to dynamic dynamic equilibrium state.

But for flexibility there is a broader principle than simply providing "next great thing". For decades, elastic theory (elastic system theory) has been applied to ecosystems (in particular, research by C. S. Holling, Canada). And social systems - individuals, families and communities - are written in many areas. However, what we are worried about here is the topic of discourses in business society in the past 30 years, such as "excellent pursuit", "excellent to superior", "durability and durability" is. Characteristic of a stubborn business organization is reflected well in Diane Coutu's 2002 HBR article "How to get back to work". There, the innovators we are now thinking are called Bricolle, their trade is bricolage (named after the French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss). Writers such as Tom Peters and Jim Collins have added their ideas to this list.
