The austerity packages that have been implemented in Greece since 2010 have been a factor causing political and social turbulence in the country. The present study investigates the influence of crisis on companies that operate in Greece and examines how this has been managed till now. An empirical study to a sample of employees working in Greek and foreign companies that operate in Greece demonstrates the preparedness or lack of preparedness of these companies and the implementation of possible crisis management plans and policies during the Greek economic crisis. The findings indicate that most of the Greek companies were not prepared and do not manage the crisis successfully. Foreign companies have managed the stressful situation more successfully. The paper suggests that crisis management requires strategic actions to be taken towards a desirable resolution to the problem. Managers have to develop organizational systems and be able to detect early warning signals and enable them to be better prepared for crisis events. This study has also shown that a crisis in managing crisis situation is possible to happen, when companies and corporate management teams do not develop crisis management plans on time.

A nadie se le escapa que estamos en crisis. Ya se encargan todos los días los medios de comunicación, las agencias de riesgo y los abstractos pero decisivos mercados de recordárnoslo. Y en esta crisis, profunda, prolongada y angustiosa los sistemas sanitarios se han puesto en el punto de mira de los gobiernos, nacionales y trasnacionales, como elementos clave de generación y resolución de la crisis. De generación porque se interpreta que su ineficiencia es responsable en gran parte de la crisis. De resolución porque se entiende que las actuaciones que sobre los mismos se lleven a cabo favorecerán la salida. Así pues nos encontramos con dos elementos clave: crisis y sistemas sanitarios, que se conjugan de manera muy diferente pero que inevitable y lamentablemente han sido asociados de forma permanente. Para poder entender esta simbiosis y tratar de analizarla partiré de la sencilla fórmula de entender semánticamente lo que es crisis y lo qué es crisis sanitaria. ; Nobody can escape that we are in crisis. Already are responsible every day media, risk agencies and abstract but crucial markets reminded us. In this crisis, deep, prolonged and distressing health systems have been in the spotlight of national Governments and corporations, as key elements of building and resolution of the crisis. Generation because it interprets its inefficiency is responsible for much of the crisis. Resolution because it is understood that actions that envelope the same are carried out they shall foster the output. So then we have two key elements: crisis and health systems, which combine very differently but which inevitably and unfortunately, have been associated on a permanent basis. To understand this symbiosis and try to analyze it I operate the simple formula of semantically understanding what is crisis and what health crisis.
