Resilience And Turning Point In Industrial Districts And Cooperatives: From Crisis To Recovery. Financial crisis imposes new organizational structures. The industrial districts and the cooperative firms offer good perspectives for Resilience to global turmoil, using the models of Renaissance (a new beginning, starting from historical roots) and Revelation (discovery of all-new creative business models). Such models are both based on eco-socio-environmental sustainability, beyond traditional standard model of firm. In the case of Industrial districts the best Resilience is performed with innovative export-led “Revelation” based on local variables. In the case of cooperatives prevails the social dimension and low unemployment levels are the first objective of the firm, proposing a Resilience model of “Renaissance” based on social variables.
