| Course Description: | You must deal rapidly, correctly, comprehensively, and objectively with a disaster or crisis. Yet, many organizations are so preoccupied with day-to-day operations that they fail to allocate the appropriate time and resources to crisis planning. Designed for corporate, healthcare, and nonprofit executives; crisis management professionals; advertising and public relations agency executives; and anyone charged with dealing with a crisis that threatens the image and viability of an organization, this overview provides you with the tools to identify potential vulnerabilities and to develop comprehensive protection, management, and communication plans. Examinations of actual crisis case studies demonstrate how to minimize risk; create a crisis plan; and manage, survive, and recover from a crisis. |
| Course Objectives: | This course aims to offer to students a framework of how to analyze and manage crisis. It teaches students that crisis management is not one- time response to an unfortunate event but it is a strategic process that must start to occur before the crisis ever takes place in the life of the organization.Additionally, it introduces students the main approaches of how to manage events |
