Ontological framework for horizon scanning of business continuity of essential services

Keeping up essential operations in the face of more complicated disruptions from crises that impact essential services such as healthcare, public transit, and government operations is a major challenge for business continuity (BC) research. Taking up this issue in the midst of increased academic discussion emphasizes how urgent it is to create a thorough reference on BC principles. This paper uses a recently developed BC ontological framework to give a comprehensive review of the literature focused on BC research. The report summarizes a comprehensive investigation of important BC aspects, including technological aspects and the urgent difficulties in maintaining BC sustainability. Through the integration of many viewpoints, this study advances a unified awareness of BC dynamics, promoting a general understanding that is necessary for risk management which is both efficient and lasting for organizations.
