Organizing for Resilience: Building Businesses that Grow During Periods of Violence and Terrorism [Offline/Online Event]
The world is seeing the greatest number of conflicts since the end of WWII with 1 in 4 people worldwide living in a conflict zone. As a result, a rising number of founders, business owners, and CEOs find themselves having to grapple with how to maintain firm survival and growth when their social context plunges into violence and terrorism. Recent scholarly work, from Dr. Coles and his colleagues at Cornell University and University of Southern California, explores how violence influences new venture formation and survival. Their results provide some important lessons for how founders, business owners, and CEOs can successfully navigate violent surroundings to ensure their firms’ survival.
During the event, you will find out:
How social context shapes the level and direction of strategic entrepreneurial activity
What personal strategies founders and business owners can use to maintain leadership performance during periods of violence
What organizational strategies founders and business owners can use to increase odds of firm survival during periods of violence
When: Wednesday, May 24, Kyiv time – 19:00.
Formats of participation: Both offline and online

Chief Scientist and Co-Founder Professor Ryan Coles: "Challenges such as economic inequality, climate change, social disconnect, and declining health outcomes are not being overcome due more to lack of organizational know-how than technical know-how. We have the solutions, we just need to get better at re-organizing economic and public organizations around the world so that those solutions can be implemented."
Our research is proving that formal management principles are integral to reducing Co2 emitted from businesses across the world.

After a life-changing experience meeting the dedicated individuals of Mukporong Yak Cheese Factory, we at Daigle Labs are working to raise funds for the purchase of a dirt bike. This seemingly basic piece of equipment often used recreationally in the states would be a game-changer for this company and village. The long and labor-intensive task of transporting the yak milk would be a thing of the past, leaving more time for production, sales, and the education of the employees as many works to gain financial literacy and independence.
Donations to this fund will not just be purchasing a dirt bike, they will be supporting entrepreneurship, better education and health care, and providing women with greater independence.
