摘要：The business environment is increasingly unstable and enterprises have to face more frequently threats that put the business continuity at risk. In light of this, enterprises need to be resilient enough to manage these undesired situations. The analysis of enterprise resilience is a very difficult task, and since the beginning supporting approaches to guide this task are required. Based on the Categorisation Framework of Disruptions developed by Sanchis and Poler (2014), the present research aims at defining and characterizing the origins of disruptions sources to classify the potential disruptive events. To do so, the origins of the disruptions sources framework is defined as a supporting mechanism to make available to both, companies and researchers, valuable information in an organised manner to facilitate the retrieval of the necessary data to assess the enterprise resilience capacity and focus the research on the most critical origins of disruptions sources.
