  • Enterprise Resilience in Bangladash 328 International Journal of Mass
    Khan & Sayem: Enterprise Resilience in Bangladash International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters November 2012, Vol. 30, No. 3, pp. 328–356. Resilience of Small Scale Enterprises to Natural Disasters: A Study of a Flood Prone Area in Bangladesh Mohammad Aftab Uddin Khan International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, Switzerland Amir Mohammad Sayem Independent Researcher, Dhaka, Bangladesh Email: [email protected] Abstract The study investigated the level of resilience of, and identified factors affecting resilience in, small scale enterprises. A cross sectional survey was carried out with a sample of 254 micro entrepreneurs in a subdistrict of the Sirajganj district in Bangladesh. To investigate different sorts of business resilience, we developed several items for each scale. Results indicate that the items in each of the capital-based resiliences are reliable and valid, suggesting that the capital-based approach developed by Mayunga (2007) can be used to further test validity and reliability. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that several factors had significant impact on different sorts of capital-based resilience. Although there was variation in capital specific resilience, education, monthly income, number of years of engagement in the current profession, number of employees, type of market, monthly income through revenue or disposal before disaster, loan received prior to disaster, and perception of recovery dynamics all had significant impact. The study concluded with theoretical and applied implications of the findings. Keywords: Resilience, small enterprises, flood, Bangladesh. Introduction Recent catastrophic events—the tsunami earthquake in Japan in 2011, the devastating earthquake in Haiti and Chile in 2010, the catastrophic flood in Pakistan in July 2010, Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in 2008, the tropical cyclone Sidr along the coastal areas of Bangladesh in 2007, Hurricane Katrina along the U.S.
