Abstract: Abstract Organizations are currently operating in an increasingly turbulent environment. In response, a number of studies have highlighted the importance of developing resilience within companies. Given their role in the economy of many countries (particularly Morocco) and their vulnerability and sensitivity to environmental hazards, SMEs are particularly concerned. Moreover, research has shown that SMEs suffer most in times of crisis and are the least prepared of all organizations. Previous research has identified several determinants that explain organizational resilience, including innovation. Hence, the following question: “To what extent does innovation contribute to the organizational resilience of SMEs to crises?” To this end, a qualitative study was carried out among various SMEs in order to answer the question. The choice of a qualitative approach was justified by the desire to explore in depth the relationship between the two concepts. The results show a significant impact of innovation in SME’s resilience.
