description Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is key in strengthening resilience and achievement of sustainable development. The private sector is co-responsible for DRR: it is a generator of risks, and a subject exposed to risks. There are competing narratives in the literature regarding the relationship between business’ disaster experience and DRR. The current study defined and characterized businesses in the Americas, with a particular interest in small and medium enterprises, and examined whether disaster experience predicts DRR, considering business size. Secondary data analyses were conducted using data from a previous study on private sector participation in DRR conducted in six Western Hemisphere cities (N=1162): Bogotá, Colombia; Kingston, Jamaica; Miami, USA; San José, Costa Rica; Santiago, Chile; and Vancouver, Canada. Results confirmed that business size matters – small businesses had lower levels of DRR efforts compared to medium and large businesses. Disaster experience (i.e., supply chain disruption, loss of telecommunications, power outage, and damaged facilities) predicted DRR. The findings underscore the importance of fostering, advising, and financing small and medium enterprises to proactively develop capabilities in the line of risk and emergency management, and early resumption of operations, post-disasters. Governing agencies and civil society organizations have the ability to provide this support.

El sector privado es corresponsable de la RRD debido a que puede ser un generador de riesgos y a la vez, estar expuesto a ellos. Ciertos discursos académicos compiten entre sí con respecto a la relación entre la experiencia de desastre de las empresas y la RRD. Este estudio definió y caracterizó diferentes empresas en América, con un interés particular en las pequeñas y medianas empresas, y examinó si la experiencia de desastres puede ser un indicador fiable para predecir la RRD, considerando el tamaño de las empresas. Se realizaron análisis de datos secundarios empleando una encuesta de participación del sector privado en la RRD en seis ciudades del hemisferio occidental (N=1162): Bogotá, Colombia; Kingston, Jamaica; Miami, Estados Unidos; San José, Costa Rica; Santiago, Chile; y Vancouver, Canadá. Los resultados confirmaron que el tamaño de la empresa es importante: las pequeñas empresas mostraron niveles más bajos de RRD en comparación con las medianas y grandes empresas. El haber experimentado un desastre (es decir, la interrupción de la cadena de suministro, la pérdida de las telecomunicaciones, la interrupción del suministro eléctrico y el daño a las instalaciones) predijo la reducción del riesgo de desastres. Los hallazgos subrayan la importancia de fomentar, asesorar y financiar a las pequeñas y medianas empresas para desarrollar de manera proactiva, capacidades en la línea de gestión de riesgos y manejo de emergencias, así como la reanudación temprana de las operaciones después de los desastres. En este contexto, las agencias gubernamentales y las organizaciones de la sociedad civil poseen la capacidad para proporcionar este apoyo.application/pdfengUniversidad EAFIThttp://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/5596http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/5596Copyright © 2019 Juan Pablo Sarmiento, Catalina Sarmiento, Gabriela Hoberman, Meenakshi Jerath, Vicente SandovalAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2AD-minister: No 35 (2019)Small and Medium Enterprises in the Americas, Effect of Disaster Experience on Readiness CapabilitiesPequeñas y medianas empresas en las Américas, Efecto de la Experiencia en Desastres sobre las Capacidades de Preparaciónarticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlepublishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Disaster risk reductionDisaster experienceSmall and medium-sized enterprisesReadinessReducción del Riesgo de DesastreExperiencia en DesastresPequeñas y Medianas EmpresasPreparaciónSarmiento, Juan PabloSarmiento, CatalinaHoberman, GabrielaJerath, MeenakshiSandoval, VicenteFlorida International UniversityUniversidad de Ontario occidentalUniversidad Internacional de FloridaUniversidad Internacional de FloridaUniversidad Internacional de FloridaAD-minister35117136THUMBNAILminiatura-administer.jpgminiatura-administer.jpgimage/jpeg8755https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/d1c5b850-44f3-4872-9d9e-c049141e3da6/download87c28d32b620f3408b1c70a3c505fbd8MD51ORIGINALdocument - 2020-05-06T132243.571.pdfdocument - 2020-05-06T132243.571.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf300656https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/8b7bf160-cf17-4040-b3bf-779d27d78859/download2d87d7d3cc349fe0f6382d0ec36b58d4MD52articulo.htmlarticulo.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html374https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/41e5d797-bca9-4d0d-b91b-5d90716411c6/download5e433b2d497ee4b72d9cdbc3c2610efcMD5310784/16081oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/160812020-09-02 13:39:46.95open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
