Growth through Adversity:An Exploration of How China's Inborn Global Enterprises Develop Their Resilience in the Face of External Repressions—Exemplified by TikTok's Response to the United States Ban
China's inborn global enterprises(IGEs)are under increasing external continuous pressure.Whether they can develop resili-ence becomes a key for organizations to cope with the crisis and achieve survival and subsequent development.This paper adopts the ver-tical single-case study method,and takes TikTok,which was banned by the United States,as an example to explore how China's IGEs develop their resilience in the face of external respressions typical of the current era.The study finds that:(1)the external pressure faced by IGEs can be divided into conventional and unconventional continuous pressure.In the two types of pressure scenarios,the devel-opment process,development strategies and manifestation of organizational resilience are different;(2)under the composite impact of the two types of continuous pressure,organizations adopt different resilience formation strategies;under the conventional continuous pres-sure,the development of organizational resilience depends on three strategies:strain,adjustment and self-improvement;under the un-conventional continuous pressure,the development of organizational resilience also needs three special strategies:aggregation,reconfigu-ration and transmutation;(3)corresponding to the three stages of resilience development,namely,passive resistance,active response and reflective learning,the organizational resilience of IGEs is a three-level dynamic morphology of defensive ability,predictive ability,resolving ability and evolutionary ability.This paper constructs the research framework of"continuous pressure(stimulation)→organi-zational resilience development process(reaction)→ organizational resilience morphological change(result)",and clarifies the devel-opment process and three-level morphology of IGEs'organizational resilience.It is not only a new exploration of the theoretical law of or-ganizational capacity upgrading in China's IGEs,but also provides practical reference for the crisis of China's IGEs.
