Dalla resilienza individuale a quella collettiva: il ruolo della comunione nelle imprese familiari

Resilience is pivotal to understanding how family businesses confront challenges and uncertainty. This study examines the role of collective resilience in Italian family enterprises, highlighting how a strong sense of community, shared responsibility, and mutual trust drive sustainability and adaptability. Drawing on qualitative evidence from five case studies, it identifies three essential mechanisms: (1) shaping a collective identity that reinforces belonging, (2) establishing intergenerational support systems, and (3) adopting collaborative decision-making practices. The concept of communion emerges as the cornerstone of collective resilience, forging a profound bond among members that transforms adversity into opportunities for shared growth.
