About the Book

This book summarizes the research findings in crisis management and generate new possible avenues for theoretical and practical examination. The topic of “organizational crises” and crisis management has become more important today as investigations of the damage control aspect of crisis management recognize the importance of the leadership skills which are necessary to lead an organization through crisis. This book will provide a baseline understanding of the field of crisis management, present a new perspective on what leaders of organizations need to do in advance of, and during a crisis illustrate the process and consequences of effective and poor crisis handling based on a decade of research. Provide ideas that might energize a research agenda on crisis management as firms become increasingly and globally competitive

Reviews

"I don’t know of any crisis management book that explicitly and uniquely focus on the leader/leadership aspects. Going with leadership more directly will also open a market for the leadership classes. We live in a world where the vulnerability to crises and the breadth of types of crises grow daily. There are only a few books on the topic—and scarcely any that deal with crisis management practically and with grounded academic roots"
