Public organizations are often not at the centre of management studies, at the same time they are the engines of a good functioning society. In this research, organisational resilience and strategy execution are studied in the context of Italian municipalities. The thesis explores traits and characteristics allowing municipalities to successfully adapt to changes. Important results are the practical recommendations that will enable the strengthening of organisational resilience and execution characteristics. In a world where the only constant is change and a pandemic is shuffling the world paradigms, this book might represent an enlightening reading for public managers who want to fulfil the mission of their organisations.
