Abstract:

As the risk society has evolved, crisis management has become significant in order to survive a crisis. Crisis consultants have an important role in the risk society and organizations expects a whole lot from the profession. There is a gap in the research about the perceptions of crisis consultant’s role and expectancies in the risk society. Additionally, there is no research connected to the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic on the profession of crisis consulting. The study aims to explore the crisis consultants view of and their role in the risk society. It also seeks to investigate ho

The purpose of this research is to investigate the crisis management strategies used by owner managers of established SMEs to survive and overcome business crisis. The study uses contingency theory alongside the general crisis management model to explore crisis triggering events in SMEs, the crisis response strategies they employ during crisis and further examine the learnings derived from the crisis experience. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry, in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 owner managers of established SMEs and inductively analysed to extract response strategies used in the

Abstract:

The global financial crisis that commenced in June 2007 has been described as the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It resulted in considerable international distress with almost all major banks experiencing capital shortages and some defaulting outright. Among the principal causes was an explosive increase - by a factor of ten in some cases - in credit defaults precipitated by lax lending standards which prevailed for several years. The crisis caused several major institutions to fail (and be subsequently acquired under duress): many of these were subject

The initial interpretations of Álvaro Siza’s work outside Portugal put the notion of place at the core of his architecture, in line with certain critical positions that appeared in Europe after the Second World War. From different perspectives towards the idea of place, critics have remained true to the vernacular traditions, the revelation of pre-existing regulating lines and the architectural promenade when interpreting Álvaro Siza’s architecture. However, from the early nineties, these terms were no longer sufficient to understand the last stage of his career. Critical regionalism is compl

Abstract:

Strategy and strategic management have always been on the radar in academia. A few years back, some scholars studied strategic management further and concluded that the terms strategic planning and strategic thinking as part of strategic management should be spoken of seperately. As academia has evolved, few scholars have embraced this. However, there is a clear distinction between the two terms, where a separation is necessary in order to fully comprehend the differences between them. In this study, a line between strategic planning and thinking has been drawn. What was further realised in th

However, the forest fires demonstrated that CV practices and practitioners in Sweden have practically no such support.

Abstract:

This thesis brings together two responses to the question ‘how can the law extend the timeframe for environmentally relevant decision-making?’ The first response is drawn from the context of institutional investment, and addresses the timeframe and breadth of environmental considerations in pension fund investment decision-making. The second response is related to the context of public environmental decision-making by legislators, the judiciary, and administrators. Three themes underlie and bind the thesis: the challenges to decision-making posed by the particular temporal and spatial characte

Abstract:

During the 20th century China has faced one of biggest changes of its history. The country passed from being a country whose economy was largely based on agriculture to a major industrialized country. This process of modernization has passed through some historical passages, most notably the Chinese Revolution that established in 1949 the People’s Republic of China. However, modernization has its own price to be paid, that now is mostly settled by nature. In fact, one of the key point of Chinese development is the progress of industry and urbanization that necessarily lead to an increase of p

Abstract:

"Urban Legends: The South Bronx in Representation and Ruin" examines the construction of the South Bronx in the American imagination during the 1970s and 1980s--a time when the South Bronx was synonymous with the failures of urbanism.

The dissertation contends that Bronx ruins offered a site for visual artists, writers, and photographers to create new ways of understanding the

Abstract:

A refugee faces many issues on their journey to safety, but the issues do not end once they reach a host country. Applying for asylum is an arduous process with long waiting times in most European countries, and a low acceptance rate. Lack of integration into a new community is one of the main issues faced during this time. Studies show that labour market opportunities are a successful tool to aid integration and help to close the employment gap between native residents and new arrivals. The employment gap exists due to lack of local language, employment connections, transference of existing s
