Reviewer 3 Report
Dear Authors,
despite this is an interesting study, the current version has to be improved. In particular, the role of resilience is not deepened as much as it needs. From this point of view few references are dedicated to resilience and also discussion must be more connected to it. Specify better, moreover: the gaps you are covering, the methodology you are applying (give also some references about SEM). Practical contribution, furthermore, must be deepened.
Good luck!

Round 2
Reviewer 3 Report
Dear Authors,
many thanks for the renewed version of the paper. I find that the concept of business resilience is not deepened yet, you should focus on it in the introduction. Moreover I still find weak the paragraph on practical implications, deepen it.
