A model of organizational recovery

Abstract

Organizational recovery refers to the process of recuperating from the disruption caused by a traumatic event. It is a flexible process based on planning that aids in recovering from disasters while minimizing lost revenues, addressing the welfare of employees, and providing a model of recovery for the business community. This article reviews community models, and focuses on selected primary pre-incident and event variables that affect recovery, as well as a model of organizational recovery that can improve the survivability of organizations.
