Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the operational implications of implementing resilience at the multi-levels of individual, organizational, community, and societal resilience. It is assumed that the implementation of resilience requires identifying the concepts, antecedents, fundaments, principles regarding the nature, processes, orientations, and outcomes. The method employed is the analytical-reflective based on conceptual, theoretical, and empirical literature review and observation of specific situations. This chapter considers a wide range of research related to resilience to be comprehensive. It is concluded that resilience is critically relevant at multi-level for individuals, organizations, communities, and society that must remain capable and strong even when all the events are adverse and seem incapable and consider ad hoc responses based on the nature of experienced major incidents. Neither academic research nor the practitioners are fully considering the implementation of resilience to solve problems.
