This study aimed to investigate the effects of business continuity management (BCM) practices on the organisational performance of government organizations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study considered a set of variables, with BCM practices as the dependent variable and planned resilience and adaptive resilience as independent variables of organisational performance. The sample comprised 200 individuals from Saudi Arabia. Data collection was facilitated through an electronic questionnaire, using Google Docs as the platform. Questionnaires were distributed to 211 individuals, with 200 responses obtained, resulting in a 94% response rate. Distribution was carried out in Arabic and English through various channels, including social media platforms, email, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn. The study revealed a significant link between organisational performance, using BCM practices, and planned and adaptive resilience. These findings contribute to the understanding of the impact of BCM practices on organisational performance within the context of Saudi Arabia. Full article

The swift adoption of digitalization and transformation within enterprises and their operations had commenced prior to the onset of COVID-19, characterized by the shift towards Industry 4.0 and subsequently progressing towards Industry 5.0. However, mandated restrictions significantly amplified the necessity and drive to utilize digital tools for both businesses and consumers. New opportunities previously not utilized have arisen yet are hand in hand with several risks linked to the use of these new digital tools. The bioeconomy sector is not an exception. The study aims to consider the sector representatives’ opinions on the significance of the risks related to digitalization. The empirical results of this study stem from a survey of enterprises in the bioeconomy sector carried out in 2020 and 2021 in Latvia. The research results prove that there are many factors influencing the development of digitalization. The results notably affirm that both entrepreneurs and employees in SMEs recognize the considerable importance of these risks, particularly emphasizing the significance of security and technology risks. While the Chi-Square Test of Independence indicates a notable association between risk evaluation scores and the education level of respondents before the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, this association diminishes in 2021. Contrary to the hypothesis that individuals with higher education levels are more attentive to risks, the evidence shows inconsistency in their perception, particularly regarding professional challenges of the entrepreneur and employees to use digital tools and other risk categories. However, the relationship between higher education levels and the significance of risks pertaining to security risks, technology risks, and the skills of the clients to use digital tools is partly affirmed.
