This research, published in Research Policy, examines why some organizations endure through centuries while others falter in the face of technological disruptions.
The findings suggest that these long-established governance structures not only facilitate resilience but also enhance adaptability to modern technological advancements, positioning monastic institutions as valuable case studies in the digital age.
