Riding the Storm
Climate change has led to a growing number of natural disaste rs. This dissertation examines how firms create, innovate, and surviv e in those disasters. If firms do not survive, how do we promote fail ed entrepreneurs to reentry into entrepreneurship? And how complex so cial, cognitive, and resource environments mitigate the aforementione d relationships? By integrating social capital theory, behavioral the ory of the firm, and prospect theory, this dissertation constructs a framework for understanding the multifaceted relationships between na tural disasters and firm/personal behaviours. In doing so, this disse rtation provides actionable insights that help organizations thrive i n disasters and support policymakers in fostering more resilient entr epreneurial ecosystems.
