Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postmodernism and the Environmental Crisis is the only book to combine cultural theory and environmental philosophy. In it, Arran Gare analyses the conjunction between the environmental crisis, the globalisation of capitalism and the disintegration of the culture of modernity. It explains the paradox of growing concern for the environment and the paltry achievements of environmental movements. Through a critique of the philosophies underlying approaches to the environmental crisis, Arran Gare puts forward his own, controversial theory of a new postmodern world view. This would be the foundation for the environmental movement to succeed. Arran Gare's work will be a vital reading for advanced students of environmental studies, as well as for environmental philosophers and cultural theorists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's managers, business owners, and public relations practitioners grapple daily with a fundamental question about contemporary crisis management: to what extent is it possible to control events and stakeholder responses to them, in order to contain escalating crises or safeguard an organization's reputation? The authors meet the question head-on, departing from other crisis management texts, and arguing that a complexity-based approach is superior to the standard simplification model of organizational learning.

Download or read book Collaborative Crisis Management written by Thomas A. Cole and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-09-12 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two experienced corporate crisis advisors offer a thorough and approachable guide to successful crisis management from anticipation to resolution. All organizations face crises from time to time, and at a time when news, information (or misinformation), and rumors can spread quickly, a timely and thoughtful response to a crisis, is critical. In this book, two industry insiders offer a primer on how organizational leadership should prepare for and handle crises. The steps, plans, and cautions they offer show how organizations can deal openly and honestly with challenges while continuing to survive and prosper. Thomas A. Cole and Paul Verbinnen show how successful crisis management requires a multi-disciplined approach enacted collaboratively under strong leadership. Drawing on many real-world examples, they speak to not only what to do during a crisis, but also the need for preparedness and post-crisis follow-up. The book is organized around a broad range of discrete issues that need to be addressed in managing any crisis and provides the steps required to successfully address each of those issues. The authors urge crisis managers to focus attention equally on four phases of management: prepare, execute, recover, and then repeat (after reflecting on the results of the last crisis) with the next one. The emphasis is on preparation and planning, setting up the procedures, and organizing the teams that will respond to each crisis. Unlike other crisis books that focus solely on communication, Collaborative Crisis Management goes further and in addition to communication, it discusses both the legal obligations and organizational challenges that accompany a crisis. The result is an indispensable guide for leaders, board members, and business students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997, this volume asks: when was 'The Postmodern' in the History of Management Thought? Marta B. Calás and Linda Smircich have chosen this subtitle as entry point to the collection for several reasons. The first, and most evident, is that it prompts us to reflect on the inclusion of a volume on postmodern organization studies within a series of books on the history of management thought. What does such inclusion signal? Are we saying that we are past the postmodern in organization studies? That we have transcended modernity and, beyond, postmodernity? Similar to other social sciences, organization and management studies in the Anglo-American and European academy became impressed by the styles of 'postmodernism' and their epistemological companions, 'poststructuralisms', during the 1980s. For this collection we have selected twenty two journal articles, published between 1985 and 1996, that we consider emblematic of postmodern endeavours in management thought, as they further our understanding of how 'truth' (of any paradigmatic persuasion), is fashioned through particular discourses and other signifying practices. Taken together, these articles address the following questions: What has the field accomplished through attempts at being postmodern? With what consequences? And, where does the field stand now, if it is still/already (going) after 'the postmodern'? In our view 'the postmodern' cannot transcend modern management thought; it is, rather, part of it. Nevertheless, the mere appearance of efforts towards making the field 'postmodern' makes it important to account for them in the history of the field. Such is the narrative that we are trying to portray in this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a crisis breaks out, it’s not always just the organization that reacts - the news media, customers, employees, trade associations, politicians, activist groups, and PR experts may also respond. This book offers a new and original perspective on crisis communication based on the theory of the Rhetorical Arena and the so-called multivocal approach. According to this approach, we gain a more dynamic and complex understanding of organizational crises if we focus not only on the communication produced by the organization but also take into account the many other voices who start communicating when a crisis breaks out. It provides: An in-depth overview of the five key dimensions of organizational crises, crisis management and crisis communication A comprehensive introduction to the theory of the Rhetorical Arena and the multivocal approach to crisis communication, including some of the most important voices inside the arena A series of important international case studies and case examples in each chapter. Suitable for students studying crisis communication modules on corporate communication, public relations, and management and organization studies courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Risk and Crisis Communication explores the scope and purpose of risk, and its counterpart, crisis, to facilitate the understanding of these issues from conceptual and strategic perspectives. Recognizing that risk is a central feature of our daily lives, found in relationships, organizations, governments, the environment, and a wide variety of interactions, contributors to this volume explore such questions as "What is likely to happen, to whom, and with what consequences?" "To what extent can science and vigilance prevent or mitigate negative outcomes?" and "What obligation do some segments of local, national, and global populations have to help other segments manage risks?", shedding light on the issues in the quest for definitive answers. The Handbook offers a broad approach to the study of risk and crisis as joint concerns. Chapters explore the reach of crisis and risk communication, define and examine key constructs, and parse the contexts of these vital areas. As a whole, the volume presents a comprehensive array of studies that highlight the standard principles and theories on both topics, serving as the largest effort to date focused on engaging risk communication discussions in a comprehensive manner. Now available in paperback, the Handbook of Risk and Crisis Communication can be readily used in graduate coursework and individual research programs. With perspectives from psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, economics, and communication, the Handbook provides vital insights for all disciplines studying risk, and is required reading for scholars and researchers investigating risk and crisis in various contexts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1: Understanding Crisis Management: An Introduction Setting: A cozy café where Jammy, the crisis management expert, and Canny, the enthusiastic learner, sit across from each other with steaming cups of coffee. Jammy: Welcome, Canny! I'm thrilled to have this candid conversation with you about crisis management. It's a crucial topic that affects all aspects of life. Canny: Thank you, Jammy! I've always been curious about crisis management and its significance. Could you start by giving me a simple definition? Jammy: Of course! At its core, crisis management is a strategic approach to dealing with unexpected events or challenges that have the potential to cause significant harm to individuals, organizations, or communities. It's about anticipating, preparing for, and responding to crises effectively to minimize their impact. Canny: I see. So, what exactly qualifies as a crisis? Jammy: Great question! Crises can come in various forms, from natural disasters like earthquakes and floods to human-made incidents like accidents, cyber-attacks, or financial meltdowns. They can also include public relations crises, product recalls, and pandemics. Anything that disrupts normal operations and requires immediate action falls under crisis territory. Canny: That makes sense. How does crisis management differ from regular problem-solving? Jammy: Another insightful question, Canny! Crisis management is distinct because it deals with high-stakes situations that demand quick decisions and responses. Unlike regular problem-solving, crises can escalate rapidly and have cascading effects if not addressed promptly. Crisis management is about handling the chaos, coordinating efforts, and communicating effectively to protect people, assets, and reputations. Canny: It sounds challenging! How do organizations approach crisis management? Jammy: Organizational crisis management involves several key components. First, they must establish a crisis management team comprising experts from various departments. This team formulates plans and protocols for different crisis scenarios. Additionally, they conduct drills and simulations to prepare everyone for the real deal. Canny: Are there any principles that guide crisis management? Jammy: Absolutely! The guiding principles include being proactive, transparent, and compassionate. Being proactive means identifying potential risks and preparing for them in advance. Transparency involves honest and timely communication with all stakeholders. And compassion is vital because crises often impact people emotionally, and empathy goes a long way in providing support. Canny: I can see the importance of crisis communication in this process. Jammy: You're spot on, Canny! Effective communication is the backbone of crisis management. It helps manage rumors, informs the public about safety measures, and builds trust in the organization's ability to handle the situation. Canny: Can you share an example of a well-managed crisis? Jammy: Certainly! One of the most notable examples is the Tylenol crisis in 1982. When cyanide-laced capsules resulted in multiple deaths, Johnson & Johnson swiftly recalled their products, cooperated with authorities, and introduced tamper-proof packaging. Their transparency and quick response helped them regain public trust. Canny: That's impressive! What are the key takeaways from our conversation today? Jammy: Here are the key takeaways: Crisis management deals with unexpected events that can cause significant harm. Crises come in various forms and require quick decision-making and response. Organizational crisis management involves proactive planning and effective communication. Guiding principles include proactivity, transparency, and compassion. Crisis communication is critical for managing public perception and ensuring safety. Canny: Thank you, Jammy! This conversation has been enlightening. I look forward to delving deeper into crisis management with you. Jammy: You're welcome, Canny! I'm excited to share more insights with you. Remember, crisis management is an ever-evolving field, and being prepared is key to successfully navigating uncertain waters.
