Abstract
This study identifies factors that
contribute to resilience of small-cap
companies that survive in the dynamic
and competitive Information
Technology sector despite resource
constraints and caters to the dearth
of studies on everyday organizational
resilience. Using interpretivist
approach, a qualitative assessment
of thirty-three interviews the study
identified that small-cap IT companies
focus on shared survival, anticipation,
retention, adaptation,
tolerance, humor, and insights to
promote resilience in the organization.
These themes are integrated
with a tint of Eastern philosophy
positioning leadership at the core.
Sarathi is a symbolic representation
of Lord Krishna, the mythological
character from ancient Indian texts
representing a mentor, guide-like
leader who offers direction and
support in difficult times.
