The paper aims to investigate if and how the Big Data Analytics Capability (BDAC) enables firms to develop organizational resilience in the face of a crisis. By adopting the Dynamic Capabilities View, the study questions what BDACs influence organizational resilience, and which of these capabilities contribute most to dynamically responding, recovering, and growing in the wake of an adverse event. A multiple linear regression is conducted to investigate the relationship among BDAC and organizational resilience with reference to 192 big data small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Europe. Research findings support the relationship and significance of BDAC in improving organizational resilience, revealing that intangible and human resources, especially organizational learning and soft skills, play a central role in the crisis recovery. Thus, the cyber resilience is conceptualized as a higher-order dynamic capability. The paper extends the literature on the antecedents of organizational resilience, showing the significant role of the BDAC as key driver in developing the organizational resilience. Finally, we address managers to the exploitation of BDAC in the most effective way to improve organizational resilience and safeguard the competitive advantage threatened by exogenous shocks.

Abstract
The paper aims to investigate if and how the Big Data Analytics Capability (BDAC) enables firms to develop organizational resilience in the face of a crisis. By adopting the Dynamic Capabilities View, the study questions what BDACs influence organizational resilience, and which of these capabilities contribute most to dynamically responding, recovering, and growing in the wake of an adverse event. A multiple linear regression is conducted to investigate the relationship among BDAC and organizational resilience with reference to 192 big data small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Europe. Research findings support the relationship and significance of BDAC in improving organizational resilience, revealing that intangible and human resources, especially organizational learning and soft skills, play a central role in the crisis recovery. Thus, the cyber resilience is conceptualized as a higher-order dynamic capability. The paper extends the literature on the antecedents of organizational resilience, showing the significant role of the BDAC as key driver in developing the organizational resilience. Finally, we address managers to the exploitation of BDAC in the most effective way to improve organizational resilience and safeguard the competitive advantage threatened by exogenous shocks.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
