<p>In today’s rapidly changing global market dynamics, organizations faced challenges that threaten stability and performance. Although knowledge management was widely recognized, it remained unclear how dispersed knowledge management practices improved organizational resilience and adaptability, and how crisis and risk management influenced this relationship.This study investigated how the integration of dispersed knowledge management practices influenced organizational resilience and adaptability in response to rapid changes in the global market dynamics. It examined how corporate crisis management and enterprise risk management mediated the link between dispersed knowledge management practices and firm performance in volatile conditions. A quantitative design with stratified sampling targeted high-tech manufacturing firms. Data from 620 senior managers were collected via a structured questionnaire and analyzed using PLS-SEM. Results showed that dispersed knowledge management practices significantly enhanced organizational adaptability and resilience. Corporate crisis management and enterprise risk management partially mediated this relationship, highlighting that the benefits of dispersed knowledge management practices were maximized when supported by robust crisis and risk frameworks. The findings provide actionable insights for executives and policymakers aiming to strengthen organizational agility. Firms were advised not only focus on knowledge integration but also prioritize systematic crisis and risk management mechanisms to navigate uncertainty in the global market dynamics. This study integrated dispersed knowledge management practices with crisis and risk management, highlighting alignment for sustained advantage.</p>
