      abstract = {From recurring episodes of great depression, oil crises,  political crises, wars, debt crises, to the ongoing climate  change, there is a constant pressure on businesses to cope  with critical events. However, throughout history, crises  have been pivotal in advancing businesses and societies.  This contributed volume approaches crisis not simply as a  source of problems, but also as a set of choices. It seeks  to explore critical events as possible opportunities for  sustainability, through process improvement, creativity,  innovation and entrepreneurship. Chapters reveal that times  of crisis provide opportunities for new start-ups,  creativity, resilience, organisational change, and  revitalisation. This book also emphasises the importance of  sustainability, driven either by the market or as a  response to critical events. Within the wider attempt to  explore avenues for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and  Sustainability at times of crisis, the book is loosely  organised in three thematic sections: organisational  responses to crisis; digitisation, and how technology  facilitates or hinders sustainability under conditions of  crisis; and SMEs, Family Firms (FF), Entrepreneurship,  which explores how critical events offer opportunities for  innovation.
