Book Synopsis Why Some Companies Emerge Stronger and Better from a Crisis by : Ian I. Mitroff
Download or read book Why Some Companies Emerge Stronger and Better from a Crisis written by Ian I. Mitroff and published by AMACOM. This book was released on 2008-01-21 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do your company and employees have the necessary "IQ" not only to withstand a crisis but also come through it with strength and confidence? Like many companies over the last few years, yours has probably done a great deal to reassess its physical, strategic, and financial vulnerabilities. However, there is a huge difference between business continuity planning and true crisis management. Ian Mitroff outlines seven distinct competencies your organization needs to handle crises effectively: Right Heart (emotional IQ): By accepting crisis as an inevitability, you can process much of the shock and grief beforehand, and avoid making the effects of the crisis even worse through an unconstructive response. Right Thinking (creative IQ): "Crises don’t care about the ways in which we have organized the world," so out-of-the-box thinking is essential. Right Social and Political IQ: Understand that your business is subject not only to the pitfalls of its industry, but to the universal and complex challenges that threaten all companies. Right Integration (integrative IQ): Realize that crises are perceived differently by different stakeholders, and are never simple "exercises" that can be "solved." Identify and reconcile these perceptions now so that the path is clear when the crisis strikes. Right Technical IQ: "Think like a controlled paranoid" to uncover ways in which malicious forces could cause a crisis in your company. Question every assumption about what is "normal," "impossible," or "absurd." Right Aesthetic IQ: Reconsider the classic design of the corporation, which is meant to address problems as they arise, and move toward one in which crisis management is an overarching discipline on a par with, for example, finance. Spiritual IQ: Reject the notion that people’s physical, mental, and spiritual beings are completely separate; and establish ahead of time why our work is, and must remain, important to us on many different levels. Although crisis management has taken on new urgency in recent turbulent times, the need for careful planning did not originate on September 11, 2001. Mitroff’s examples, drawn from interviews conducted both before and after the 2001 attacks during his 25 years of experience, demonstrate the need for action -- and offer a blueprint for taking it.

Book Synopsis The Critical Few by : Jon Katzenbach
Download or read book The Critical Few written by Jon Katzenbach and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a global survey by the Katzenbach Center, 80 percent of respondents believed that their organization must evolve to succeed. But a full quarter of them reported that a change effort at their organization had resulted in no visible results. Why? The fate of any change effort depends on whether and how leaders engage their culture: the self-sustaining patterns of behaving, feeling, thinking, and believing that determine how things are done in an organization. Culture is implicit rather than explicit, emotional rather than rational—that's what makes it so hard to work with, but that's also what makes it so powerful. For the first time, this book lays out the Katzenbach Center's proven methodology for identifying your culture's three most critical elements: traits, characteristics that are at the heart of people's emotional connection to what they do; keystone behaviors, actions that would lead your company to succeed if they were replicated at a greater scale; and authentic informal leaders, people who have a high degree of “emotional intuition” or social connectedness. By leveraging these critical few elements, you can tap into a source of catalytic change within your organization. People will make an emotional, not just a rational, commitment to new initiatives. You will elicit enthusiasm and creativity and build the kind of powerful company that people recognize for its innate value and effectiveness.

Book Synopsis Fish Can't See Water by : Kai Hammerich
Download or read book Fish Can't See Water written by Kai Hammerich and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How national culture impacts organizational culture—and business success Using extensive case studies of successful global corporations, this book explores the impact of national culture on the corporate strategy and its execution, and through this ultimately business success—or failure. It does not argue that different cultures lead to different business results, but that all cultures impact organizations in ways both positive and negative, depending on the business cycle, the particular business, and the particular strategies being pursued. Depending on all of these factors, cultural dynamics can either enable or derail performance. But recognizing those cultural factors is difficult for business leaders; like everyone else, they too can be blind to the culture of which they are a part. The book offers managers and leaders eight recommendations for recognizing those cultural factors that negatively impact performance, as well as those that can be harnessed to encourage superior performance. With real case studies from companies in Asia, Europe, and the United States, this book offers a truly global approach to organizational culture. Offers a fresh approach to the effects of national culture on organizational culture that is applicable to any country in any region Based on case studies of such companies as Toyota, Samsung, General Motors, Nokia, Walmart, Kone and British Leyland It describes the origins and nature of the most common corporate crisis and how culture impacts the response to such a crisis Ideal for managers, business leaders, and board members, as well as business school students A welcome response to the flat-Earth fad that argues we're all alike, this book offers a nuanced and practical view of cultural differentiators and how they can enable or derail business performance.
Book Synopsis Any Consistency in National Culture's Influence on Firms' Performance in Bad Times? Evidence from the Covid-19 Crisis and GFC. by : Zhimin Wang
Download or read book Any Consistency in National Culture's Influence on Firms' Performance in Bad Times? Evidence from the Covid-19 Crisis and GFC. written by Zhimin Wang and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 economic crisis in 2020 (COVID-19 crisis) and 2007-2009 global financial crisis (GFC) were both worldwide and posed significant challenges for firms. In this study, using Hofstede's cultural dimension framework to analyze the cross-country, firm-level data for thousands of firms from 55 countries, we show that national culture plays a consistent role for firms in the COVID-19 crisis and GFC: Firms from countries possessing the cultural attributes of long-term orientation, strong uncertainty avoidance, or low individualism are less affected by the crises on downside risk and profitability than their counterparts. We also find that firm size mitigates these effects. Further analysis reveals that small firms have consistent results with the main analyses, but large firms do not. We also conduct subsample analyses by economy development level and industry. The results show that national culture's relationship with firms' downside risk and profitability during crises are more consistent for advanced economies and firms in the manufacturing industry. We conclude that national culture plays an important role in the ability of firms to prosper in the midst of recent major economic downturns.
