"From tragic accidents to public relations fiascos, we live in an increasingly crisis-ridden society. In fact, half of the major industrial accidents of the past century occurred in the last 20 years. Incidents such as Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez have become embedded in our consciousness, cultural icons of the worst sort. Other crises, less devastating but with serious impact on their businesses, occur almost daily. Why is this--and what can be done to reverse this disturbing trend? According to Ian Mitroff, one of the world's leading experts on crisis management, the rise in the crisis rate is due to an ingrained ""it-can't happen-to-us"" mentality--which, in turn, leads to a total lack of preparedness for crises. His solution? Find out in Managing Crises Before They Happen. This fascinating book provides readers with a powerful framework that will help them: * Recognize the early warning signals that almost always precede a crisis * Focus on the big picture, not just the details * Avoid becoming either the victim or the villain in a crisis situation * Understand the importance of personal character, corporate culture, and thinking outside the box to effective crisis management * Learn from one crisis things that can prevent or ameliorate the next."

A framework for crisis management

By Amazon Customer on February 17, 2006

Format: Paperback

Understanding that completely eliminating crises is impossible, the authors of this book lay out a model any company can use to limit both duration and the magnitude of the crisis. This model ensures the major objectives of a company's business are not derailed during a crisis or series of crises.

A best-practice model is offered that identifies five factors that companies must manage before, during, and after a crisis: 1) the type and risk categories of crises, 2) mechanisms, 3) systems, 4) stakeholders and 5) scenarios. These five components form a crisis-management framework, that when integrated with other important organizational programs, such as planning, issues management, or quality assurance, will help companies weather severe storms.

The authors discuss the importance of truth-telling. In the light of the recent events with Enron and Andersen, the authors' advice to companies to not ask if the truth will be revealed, but rather when the truth will become public and under what circumstances, seems both timely and poignant.

Sigh!

I had to buy this book as a textbook for a course I am taking online through American Military University. For some reason AMU loves to use outdated and boring books, probably because they are written by fellow professors. Don't buy this book unless you have to.
