Stock values and earnings of Ashland Oil and Exxon were analyzed to determine if a correlation existed between a rapid, positive management response and minimization of the financial impact following an oil spill. The results showed a positive correlation for the company that employed, what experts call, 'good'crisis management techniques.

The main purpose of this article is to contribute to the conceptual framework of EU crisis management. As an evolving and politically sensitive concept EU crisis management still lacks a solid conceptual and theoretical basis which undermines its credibility and performance. The research hypothesis is that the conceptual deficit in EU crisis management is first and foremost an ideological issue. EU crisis management has no adequate ideological basis and, subsequently, no adequate conceptual and strategic framework. The theoretical approach to define EU crisis management within the liberal school of international relations is examined and critically assessed. The main conclusion is that strengthening the ideological basis is a must for more effective conceptual, strategic and institutional development of EU crisis management. Finally, a Methodology for the validation of novel crisis management concepts is proposed. By testing alternative conceptual and governance models the innovative Methodology for strategic-level Concept Development and Experimentation (CD&E) could provide scientific support for the establishment of the European Union's crisis management system.

International crises, 1945-79; emphasis on the Arab-Israel conflict.

The crisis management field has matured into a vibrant area of scholarship and teaching. This special issue of the Journal of Management Education takes stock of where we stand with respect to the teaching of crisis management. In her call for papers, the guest editor poses many challenging questions. Having studied crises for the past 25 years, the authors thought it would be useful to reflect on their own personal answers to these questions. They explore definitions of crisis, translate research on crises into skills and knowledge for students, and draw crisis management lessons from other disciplines. The authors discuss how to teach crisis management in a stand-alone course and how to integrate it into other areas of study, and emphasize the development of students' cultural sensitivity and emotional and experiential learning, as well as their conceptual understanding regarding crises.

Nowadays, societies, governments and companies are exposed to different kind of crisis, which can occur suddenly or have a period of evolution. Therefore, organizations need a crisis management system in response to the crisis and the consequences that it could trigger. One clear episode is the COVID-19 pandemic, that has generated economic problems worldwide. In this situation, central banking have played an active role in order to preserve the economic stability of every country, trough measures, instruments and mechanisms. Behind these measures, there is a crisis management system that ensures the continuity of banking operations. Therefore, this thesis is focused on analyzing how does crisis management work in central banking, based on a case study, and a benchmarking with international central banks and proposed improvement opportunities for the bank in study. ; Author Karla Solansh Vilchez Rodriguez ; Masterarbeit Universität Linz 2022 ; Arbeit auf den öffentlichen PCs in den Bibliotheken der JKU+Medizin abrufbar

Considers management of information and effective communication at times of crisis. Examines recent crises to illustrate how and why poor management of information and communication has had disastrous effects. Discusses basic rules together with preparation and training for crisis management, including a crisis checklist, phone lines, spokespersons, conveying the message and training support staff. Comments on the need for the establishment of house rules to avoid problems. Discusses interpretations of "off the record" and how problems can arise from differing interpretations. Establishes the value of simultaneous communication to all audiences.

PurposeCrisis management increasingly requires coordination and collaboration between multiple organizations. This means that inter-organizational boundaries have to be spanned by dedicated organizational members (i.e. boundary spanners). This paper aims to describe which features facilitate the work of boundary spanners in crisis management.Design/methodology/approachA case study, consisting of 26 interviews, has been conducted in the Netherlands to explore how civilian and military representatives effectively spanned inter-organizational boundaries.FindingsFive features are identified that enable boundary spanners to improve crisis management coordination and collaboration. Boundary spanners are likely to be successful when they (1) serve long terms, (2) are sensitive to partners' concerns, (3) have considerable discretion, (4) are politically skilled and (5) prove influential in their own organization.Practical implicationsCrisis organizations can extend boundary spanners' term length, broaden their discretionary space and give them more influence to facilitate their work. Additionally, in the selection process, it would be well to choose organizational members who display a sensitivity to the interests of crisis partners and possess political skill.Originality/valueMultiple studies have reiterated the key role of boundary spanners in enabling crisis management coordination and collaboration. Yet, this study is the first to provide a systematic analysis of key features that help boundary spanners to reach this goal.
