| Abstract: | Drawing on Swiss and Austrian electric utilities as case studies, this paper empirically investigates the underlying organizational capabilities required to enable adaptation to climate-related disruptions to a company's resource supply, production processes, and product distribution. Through a case- and literature-based repeated process of analytical induction, three organizational capabilities are discovered: climate knowledge absorption as a vital information generating and assimilating capability, climate-related operational flexibility as a short-term adjustment capability, and strategic climate integration as a long-term, innovation-focused capability. |
