Resiliência do empreendedor diante do insucesso na inovação

Abstract

This study analyzes the resilience of entrepreneurs in the face of innovation failure, aiming to advance academic knowledge and develop effective public policies and business strategies. Initially considered a personality trait, resilience is now understood as an adaptive and creative capacity crucial for organizational performance. Methodologically, a systematic literature review was conducted, selecting articles from 2020 to 2024 from SCIELO, PUBMED, PEPSIC, and Google Scholar. Relevant works were identified, mostly qualitative, from the Southeast and South regions of Brazil. Results indicate that resilience is essential for facing challenges and promoting innovations, highlighting the importance of entrepreneurs' mental health. Organizational resilience analysis suggests that resilient leaders can mitigate risks and foster a culture of innovation. Conclusions emphasize that resilience is not just a personal trait but can be developed through specific strategies and adequate support, being crucial for transforming failures into valuable experiences and sustaining innovative efforts.
