Abstract: Abstract Many enterprises, from the largest to the smallest, govern themselves utilizing a variety of resources to withstand disruptive events. This research aims to review the literature on the capabilities adopted by firms to face disruptive events, using the current economic crisis caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as an approach, which is considered a break down in the development of the economic activity. The research method was qualitative, with a systematic literature review utilized to synthesize and establish a foundation for the subject. The results showed that the capabilities adopted by companies to be resilient are adaptability, agility, collaboration, decreased vulnerability, diversification (products or services), dynamic capabilities, flexibility, innovation, knowledge and learning abilities, and the reconfiguration of organizational resources. The originality/value of this research is taking a global perspective of the capabilities that enterprises adopt to be resilient.
