摘要

This research employs a hybrid systematic literature review methodology, combining bibliometric mapping with the Theory-Context-Characteristics-Methodology (TCCM) framework, to critically examine the scholarship on resilience and strategic adaptation in global business under conditions of geopolitical uncertainty. Drawing on 59 high-impact, peer-reviewed articles, the study identifies dynamic capabilities, institutional theory, and organizational agility as the predominant explanatory frameworks for firm-level adaptation. Through the synthesis of these perspectives, we observe the emergence of a conceptual construct termed the Resilience Strategy Engine, which comprises four interrelated components: institutional adaptation mechanisms, organizational agility, digital enablers, and contextual intelligence. These constructs reflect the operationalization of dynamic capabilities in navigating external shocks. Methodologically, the literature reveals a strong reliance on cross-sectional quantitative designs and bibliometric techniques, with limited engagement in longitudinal research, big data analytics, and mixed-methods approaches. The hybrid methodology applied in this study enables a structured, multi-dimensional analysis that captures both theoretical patterns and empirical gaps, offering a comprehensive lens on how resilience has been conceptualized and examined in global business contexts.
