We investigate four contributors to crisis readiness: market turbulence, innovative capacity, perceived likelihood of a crisis (PLC) and firm size. Results from a PLS-SEM assessment of 284 managers in the United States suggest that market turbulence is not only a precursor to crisis readiness but also affects PLC and innovative capacity in firms. We conclude that managers in SMEs were more likely to expect a crisis but less prepared to address one when it strikes.

是什么推动了危机准备？对美国管理者的评估：市场动荡的影响、危机的感知可能性、中小型企业和创新能力

我们调查了危机准备的四个因素：市场动荡、创新能力、危机的感知可能性 (PLC) 和公司规模。对美国 284 名经理的 PLS-SEM 评估结果表明，市场动荡不仅是危机准备的前兆，而且会影响公司的 PLC 和创新能力。我们得出的结论是，中小企业的管理者更有可能期待一场危机，但在危机发生时没有准备好应对危机。
