Understanding the development and integration of purpose in start-up organizations

The modern business world is characterized by a rapid pace, constant change as well as increased disruption. In dealing with the changing market conditions, an increasing number of organizations adopt the concept of purpose to engage their work force, differentiate from the competition and attract the best talent. This master thesis with the title “Understanding the development and integration of purpose in start up organizations” aims at examining how leaders of start ups integrate and develop the concept of purpose. It will provide clarification about the purpose conception within young organizations and establish the purpose integration framework for its successful implementation

How to build digital trust? : Swiss Digital Trust Whitepaper

Paper available for download from:https://digitaltrust-label.swiss/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Digital-Trust-final-forpublication.pdfReprinted with permission of the publisher.Trust is a key ethical value and virtue in all human interactions. Trust is also a key requirement and a key challenge in the digital world. In September 2019, the first Swiss Global Digital Summit took place in Geneva, Switzerland, to provide a platform to promote in-depth discus-sions on “Ethics and Fairness in the Age of Digital Transformation” and aiming at building digital trust in the digital world. As a result, the Swiss Digital Initiative (SDI) was launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2020. It is supported by over two dozen high-ranking personalities and institutions from academic, private and pub-lic sector. In 2021, the Swiss “Digital Trust Label” was launched. The following whitepaper analyses the needs of building trust in the digital world. The editors/Christoph Stückelberger

Organisational Resilience during COVID-19 Times: A Bibliometric Literature Review

Since the start of the pandemic, organisations have recognised the importance of resilience strategies and they have been trying to enhance them for future crises. COVID-19 has profoundly affected the way that organisations operate and react to recent events. The lessons from this pandemic for future adverse events are yet to be understood. This study aims to identify the most prominent issues and gaps in the literature regarding organisational resilience in the context of COVID-19. To achieve this, this paper is conducting a bibliometric literature review of 185 articles discussing organisational resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic, from 2019 to the beginning of 2022. This paper identifies six main topic clusters: (1) entrepreneurial, tourism, and emergency responses; (2) world environment, disruptions, and organisations; (3) employees and mediation; (4) firms and opportunities; (5) capabilities and digitalisation; and (6) leadership during uncertain times. The main contribution of this study is an up-to-date identification of research concerning organisational resilience in times of crisis, particularly research conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. As COVID-19 is a unique crisis, this pandemic, as well as the timely results of this paper, stand out. In light of this, I believe one can develop innovative, fundamental new directions for resilience literature in the future.</jats:p
