Business in war and peace: firms, violent conflict, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine John E. Katsos (24170019) PUREID: 648241710 Violent conflict firm strategy Ukraine business in war institutional disruption corporate response resilience interstate conflict crisis management organizational behaviour business and peace <p>This thesis explores how large firms navigate the challenges of violent interstate conflict, based on interviews with business leaders operating in Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion. It examines how companies engage with state and non-state actors, adapt to rapidly shifting institutional conditions, and manage resource and reputational risks. The findings offer new insights into firm behaviour under extreme conditions, highlighting limitations in conventional management theories and contributing to a deeper understanding of business strategy and resilience in war-affected environments.</p><br><i>Thesis is under embargo until 31 December 2028.</i> 2026-10-01T16:22:53Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32641497.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Business_in_war_and_peace_firms_violent_conflict_and_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine/32641497 All Rights Reserved Open Access after 2028-12-31
