Innovating resilience: How avoiding reducing innovation through cost-cutting can boost performance in a crisis.

Purpose: This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design: This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings: Organizational areas which deal with innovation are often the first to see costs cut when an economic crisis emerges. Yet this can actually have a dramatic negative effect on recovery after a crisis, compared to cutting costs elsewhere. Originality: The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
