Master Thesis within Business Administration Title: Decision-Makers behind Effective Crisis Management: An industry comparison of a crisis prepared approach among Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Author: Renée Löwhagen Tutor: Angelika Löfgren Date: May, 2015 Key words: Crises, Crisis Management, Crisis preparedness, SME, Managerial decision-making Abstract Problem. The world is in an era with technological advancements, shorter business cycles and a growing competition that requires constant organizational changes in order for or-ganizations to stay on track. Uncertainty in the business world is therefore higher than ev-er. With respect to Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and their central role in the European economy, it is of high relevance of today’s researchers to adopt the perspec-tive of these businesses to take on a more crisis prepared approach. Purpose. The focus of this study is to investigate the perception of the concepts of crisis and crisis management among SMEs’ managers in different industries in Sweden. Moreover, this study intends to develop an understanding of the decision-making behind a crisis pre-pared approach of different industries of SMEs. Method. This research employs a multi-methodical qualitative research approach in which, in-depth interviews with owner-managers of SMEs and a crisis expert have been conduct-ed. Results. This study indicates that there may be a lack of insight regarding the core meaning of crises and crisis management among the SMEs’ managers studied. Crises and crisis management was found to be perceived in a similar way among all the managers in the study. Crises were perceived as involving the personnel and safety issues of the business-es. Crisis Management, was understood as the management of an already occurred crisis, rather than the preparation for potential crises. A deficiency was found among the busi-nesses regarding crisis preparations. This seemed to be related to resource restrictions and a general lack of research about this topic in the context of SMEs. The study indicates that SME managers do not always make formal decisions regarding crisis preparations. In the cases where the SME managers of the study had prepared plans and strategies for how to handle crises, these had emerged as a gradual process rather than from decisions taken in this matter.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, there is a growing need to consider crisis management in organizations due to an increased occurrence of crises in our society. Manufacturing organizations are often affected by crises due to their supply chain reliance and many small-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) do not have the resources to work with crisis management. There is an identified lack of research regarding how manufacturing SMEs work with crisis management and how the particularities of the manufacturing industry and the specific characteristics and reliance of resources of SMEs can affect crisis management. The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of strategic crisis management in manufacturing SMEs. The thesis outlines different strategic crisis management models which includes the crisis processes of detection, occurrence, and recovery. To understand the practices of manufacturing SMEs, a qualitative study was conducted through 8 eight semi-structured interviews with respondents from Sweden and Switzerland. The thesis discuss the findings of the crisis management carried out by the manufacturing SMEs and existing crisis management models for SMEs and Chinese large- and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (CLMMEs). The paper concludes that manufacturing SMEs are affected economically by the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. The most common impacts include a decrease in orders and delivery delays. Furthermore, the research provides a contribution to the understanding of how manufacturing SMEs deal and work with crises. The most identified practices were market diversification, active communication with stakeholders, cost reduction and crisis recap.Findings also showed that manufacturing SMEs worked with pre-event planning as an essential part of their crisis management. The paper further proposes a strategic crisis management model for manufacturing SMEs.

Santana, Guilherme Guimrães. "Crisis management : towards a model for the hotel industry : an examination of crisis preparedness and stakeholder relationships in crisis situations." Thesis, Bournemouth University, 1997. http://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/299/.
Full textAbstract:
Crises are inevitable. There is no way to prevent all crises from happening. In fact, in today's business environment crises are an integral part of organizational life. Crisis situations are by nature novel, unstructured, frameworks. Crises are sudden, acute, and demand a timely response. Most man-made crises are in principle preventable. Crisis management is a new field of research that addresses the problems of dealing with crises, and the stress that accompanies crises. Crisis management involves efforts to prevent crises from occurring; to prepare for a better protection against the impact of a crisis agent; to make for an effective response to an actual crisis; and to provide plans and resources for recovery and rehabilitation in the aftermath of a crisis. It is no longer enough to consider "if" a crisis will happen but rather "when" a crisis will occur, "which type", and "how". There is no doubt that the travel and tourism industry is especially susceptible and vulnerable to crises. It is argued that the hotel industry, given its operational characteristics, management practices (which is strongly influenced by long established traditions), and its operating environment, is even more prone to crises. However, very little has been done to understand crisis (that is, how a crisis evolves, crisis typology, anatomy, and management of crisis). This study describes and discusses all major relevant elements and issues to the emerging field of crisis management. Within the domain of crisis management theory, the study describes and elaborates on critical issues such as crisis typology, anatomy of crisis, crisis planning and training, crisis decision making, crisis communication, and crisis management. It is argued in this study that organizational culture is the most fundamental element in crisis preparedness. That is, organizational culture, not organization structure, size, financial history, etc., is the main determinant of crisis preparedness. The research also argue that stakeholders are fundamental in crisis prevention, crisis management and crisis recovery. 2 This study, in a first instance, examines the crisis preparedness of 33 of the 50 top hotel organizations operating in the UK (HCIMA, 1995). Crisis preparedness is examined in the light of organizational culture. For that, top executives in those organizations were interviewed and responded to two questionnaires. A crisis preparedness framework (or continuum) was derived from the application of factor analysis on the questionnaire data. The results suggest that the hotel industry is not prepared for crises. Given that a crisis is a multi-stakeholder phenomenon (it inevitably involves other agents) this study also explores, building upon the results obtained from the crisis preparedness continuum, the notion of stakeholders relationships in crisis situations. More specifically, the research proposition states that organizations that are crisis "prepared" are more consistent on their opinions about stakeholders' role and behaviour in crisis situations than those organizations that are not prepared for crises. The study confirmed both the research question and proposition. The study also presents an operational definition of crisis management and proposes a model for crisis management.

Full textAbstract:
Research problemThe world is currently undergoing one of the most substantial crises of the past century, causing disruption both socially and economically. The effect on the Swedish inhabitants has been impactful, especially for elders, who are crippled in the ability to complete necessary tasks including private banking. Many elderlies are struggling with online banking and similar fintech services, so when the rest of the population resort to digital means of conducting bank errands, what are banks doing to smoothen the transition for elders? Research purpose The research purpose is to explore how commercial banks are bridging the digital divide between information technology and the senior customers and further how the immediate crisis complicates this. The thesis will explore the practical efforts toward smoothening the transition between an increasingly more digitalized bank sector and the older generations. Additionally, to provide insight to how the covid-19 pandemic influences commercial banking and what trends are following. Theoretical framework The theoretical framework has been modeled around five concepts relating to digitalization: Digital divide, the bell doctrine, E-banking, The profitability of traditional vs. modern banking and E-CRM. The theoretical framework is presented in full extent in its own section. Methodology A qualitative method is applied with emphasis on narrative inquiries collected through semiconstructed interviews. Empirical findings The findings are presented as thematic extracts from the interviews, anchored in the theoretical framework, consisting of primary data from five participants from four separate banks in the Umeå region, Sweden. Conclusion The local banks have been very successful in providing their non-digital customers with their services by being flexible and offering a broad range of channels through which the customer can interact with the bank. For the most part, the banks themselves remain largely unaffected by the crisis. Naturally, there are a few customers who still resist, or do not possess the ability to utilize the digital tools that has become the primary way banking matters are conducted at this time. Additionally, it is possible that the outcome of the crisis will have resulted in an increasingly higher rate of adaptation of digital banking, hence making the traditional business model more difficult to operate post-crisis.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation looks at the existing, recent literature in crisis management and tries to outline a plan of actions organizations should undertake to prevent or respond to a crisis. A crisis can be seen from two different perspectives, one is the side of the organization and what actions are required for a company to prevent or react to a crisis, the other is the side of the public, how the public reacts to a crisis and can even trigger and expand crisis. This dissertation analyzes both perspectives. Chapter 1 delineates the different types of crisis and other classifications of crisis based on several different criteria, explains how technological, social and environmental factors can trigger or modify a crisis and suggests the implementation of systems like having a crisis management team and a crisis management plan to be ready when a crisis hits. Chapter 2 highlights the most common strategies that have been used by organizations until now to cope with a crisis. They vary depending on the degree of responsibility of the company. It also delineates the crisis communication tactics that are suggested in a period of crisis. Communication is mainstream in a period of crisis. Chapter 3 looks at the perspectives of the society and explains the dynamics of a crisis within a society, how it spreads, at which speed, and through which means of communication. The Greenpeace detox campaign aimed at fast fashion retail companies is taken as element of analysis. Chapter 4 explores a new area of research, which is called topic modeling and is suited to analyze great amounts of data in the form of text. I propose the analysis of 100 newspaper articles from the Guardian and the New York Times in the fast fashion area to understand the issues that revolve around the theme. The fast fashion industry is booming yet harshly criticized for its unfair labor practices and negative impact on the environment. The final part of the dissertation summarizes some insights on how to cope with a crisis and proposes a fast fashion model to show how fast fashion companies should act.

Paull, Leslie Owen. "Strategies to Mitigate Losses from Product-Harm Crises in the Agri-Food Industry." ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/4092.
Full textAbstract:
Some agri-food managers of United States-based companies use strategies to mitigate product-harm crises.The loss of brand and corporate sustainability increases for companies not utilizing mitigating strategies to reduce losses from agri-food product-harm crisis.The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the strategies managers use to mitigate losses from agri-food product-harm crises. Coombs' situational crisis communication theory served as the conceptual framework for this study. A sample of 3 managers from 3 agri-food companies in the southern United States shared their mitigating strategies to reduce losses from a product-harm crisis. Methodological triangulation assisted in reviewing and analyzing information from semistructured interviews, relevant company documents, and journal notes. The use of alphanumeric coding, discovering, and identifying themes, selecting relevant themes, organizing themes in hierarchical order, and linking themes to the phenomenon under study indicated four main themes supporting the benefits of mitigating strategies to reduce losses from an agri-food product-harm crisis. The main themes included the use of pre-crisis mitigating strategies, mid-crisis mitigating strategies, post-crisis mitigating strategies, and high pressure pasteurization (HPP). Findings from this study indicated that agri-food managers use strategies to mitigate product-harm crises, but the added expense of some mitigating strategies often precludes their use. The study findings may contribute to social change by increasing the awareness of agri-food managers, consumers, and company leadership to use mitigating strategies to reduce the number of illnesses and deaths associated with a product harm crisis.

Full textAbstract:
Problem: Crisis and crisis preparedness are being increasingly discussed within the business world. Especially now, when the current pandemic triggered maybe the most significant wave of economic downturns the globe is facing ever. Nevertheless, the Manufacturing Industry (MI) was severely impacted due to its dependence on the e.g., supply chain aspect. Therefore, it was interesting to explore how MO’s challenge crisis by investigating how they prepare for a crisis, i.e., crisis preparedness. A review of the topic within the scientific papers shows a lack of knowledge regarding crisis preparedness within MO’s. Purpose: This thesis aimed to increase how MO’s prepare for a crisis and explore what measures (actions) they use to prepare for a crisis. Method: This thesis followed a qualitative research approach (inductive) with a multiple case study design approach. The data were collected by three semi-structured interviews with three major organizations, where all the participants had a long experience with crisis management. Later on, the collected data were analyzed thematically (thematic analysis approach). Empirical findings: The empirical findings showed that organizations need to consider four main aspects when building a solid crisis preparation structure. These aspects consist of: (1) careful understanding of the environment the crisis occurred in, (2) possess extensive experience dealing with a crisis, (3) scenarios practices, (4) strong communication and transparency system, and finally (5) fostering crisis preparedness culture within the organization. All these aspects/skills must be acquired within the crisis management team (CMT). However, the communication aspect stood out more than the other aspects, which indicate the importance of communication within the organization. Contribution: This thesis contributes theoretically by emphasizing the essentiality of the communication aspect and its positive impact on a crisis preparedness process within organizations. Likewise, from a managerial perspective, this thesis suggests that organizations should implement a crisis communication hub, where all departments within an organization possess all necessary tools to help them survive any crisis through an effective communication system.<br><p>Confidential</p>

Full textAbstract:
The pharmaceutical industry is prone to crises, yet the communication strategy of these saidcrises has not been sufficiently explored. The perception of pharmaceutical crises is stronglydependent on how the cases are portrayed both by the pharmaceutical companies and the medicaljournals. Thus, the communication process of the crisis and the framing of the cases are of greatimportance. The main purpose of the thesis is to investigate how a pharmaceutical companyfacing a crisis communicates with the public, and secondly how medical journals frame a crisis.A specific case attracted a considerable amount of criticism by the pharmaceutical industry andthe medical journals. TGN1412 was a developing drug by TeGenero that never managed to passthe clinical trials. Moreover, the drug's effect on several participants has been characterized evenas ‘nearly fatal’. Situational Crisis Communication Theory and Image Restoration Theory equipthe thesis with an adequate theoretical framework to examine the crisis communication ofTeGenero through the company’s press releases. Additionally, a Framing analysis is applied on anumber of medical journal articles in order to fully understand the narrative of the medicalcommunity regarding the case. The thesis objective is to explore the TeGenero case andsubsequently the crisis communication in the pharmaceutical industry. As a result of the study,TeGenero’s main crisis communication strategy was towards Corrective Action, supported byBolstering and Defeasibility. From the medical journals framing analysis it is demonstrated that agreat amount of journals focused on the causes of the crisis event but also the moral standardsregarding the TeGenero case. The results of this study suggest that crisis framing and perceptionshould be considered as a more important element for crisis communication in thepharmaceutical industry.

Full textAbstract:
Mortgage managers lack the organizational strategies to evolve after the 2008 economic decline of the U.S. and the global economy. The significance in the lack of organizational strategies threaten the U.S. and global communities with challenges in defaults for homeowners, performance and profits for the mortgage industry that jeopardize solvent economies. The purpose of this qualitative single case study was to explore the strategies mortgage loan managers use to avoid mortgage crises and maintain profitability. The conceptual framework for this study was the social audit theory. The participants of the study were 7 mortgage managers, in the North-Eastern region of the U.S. Data were collected using semistructured interviews as the primary source, and as the secondary source data from public files, press releases, archives, public databases, and the company website. Using methodological triangulation, data, were analyzed and the following 5 themes emerged: adherence to government regulations, training strategies, credit history strategies, work history strategies and income-to- debt-ratio strategies. The potential implications for positive social change include increasing the success rate of lending for mortgage managers, which in return could create profit for mortgage firms, generate employment opportunities, increase the government tax revenues, and contribute to the growth of the U.S economy.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 outbreak, travel restrictions, or other safety norms had a huge negative impact on the world hotel industry from the beginning of 2020. In response to the crisis majority of the hotels all around the world had decided to get closed temporarily. Such a deep crisis arose many social problems especially among the employees of the industry. However, there were still cases, when hotels decided to choose different strategies rather than closing their doors for their customers. One of us had a great opportunity to spend 14 days of quarantine in one of such hotels and to collect the valuable information from inside the hotel room, which had been converted into a quarantine zone after the virus outbreak. Besides, we also explored several more cases from 4 different countries about the hotels that have chosen to create social benefits in different ways. In this thesis, we have analyzed socially sustainable strategic solutions from the hotel industry, explored characteristics, and described the circumstances that encouraged such solutions.

Full textAbstract:
Background: With the appearance of the fourth industrial revolution a lot of industries had to change and adapt to computer integrated manufacturing, the ‘Internet of things’, cloud computing, machine to machine communication, additive manufacturing and ‘big data’. Overall, this industrial transformation is driven by digitalization. The Swedish dental laboratory industry is of special interest for our research due to the lack of adaption to the new technological changes, decreasing market share in Sweden and the threats from cheap Chinese production. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to understand the current situation the Swedish small and medium sized dental laboratories are facing because of the threats from the Chinese competition. Therefore, we analyze the Swedish dental laboratory industry and map the situation. Moreover, we show what the laboratories are currently doing to defend their market position in a highly competitive environment. Method: The data was gathered from semi structured and open interviews of dental technicians, dentists and industry experts. This empirical data was analyzed in an abductive thematic approach. Additionally, this theory driven approach combines the research question and the propositions with the empirical findings to create a precise research report. Conclusion: Up to recently, China was a big threat for the domestic dental laboratories but this threat is decreasing nowadays. Due to the demand of high quality products with precise services, dentists require a close collaboration with the dental laboratories. In order to survive as an SME in the Swedish dental industry, collaborating in networks among local competitors can help to lift investments for new equipment in the transforming environment. With state of the art technology and shared competences Swedish dental laboratories can sustain their competitive advantage in global competition.

Previous issue date: 2015-06-15<br>The private equity industry was experiencing a phenomenal boom at the turn of the century but collapsed abruptly in 2008 with the onset of the financial crisis. Considered one of the worst crises since the Great Depression of the 1930s, it had sent ripples around the world threatening the collapse of financial institutions and provoking a liquidity crunch followed by a huge downturn in economic activity and recession. Furthermore, the physiognomy of the financial landscape had considerably altered with banks retracting from the lending space, accompanied by a hardening of financial regulation that sought to better contain systemic risk. Given the new set of changes and challenges that had arisen from this period of financial turmoil, private equity found itself having to question current practices and methods of operation in order to adjust to the harsh realities of a new post-apocalyptic world. Consequently, this paper goes on to explore how the private equity business, management and operation model has evolved since the credit crunch with a specific focus on mature markets such as the United States and Europe. More specifically, this paper will aim to gather insights on the development of the industry since the crisis in Western Europe through a case study approach using as a base interviews with professionals working in the industry and those external to the sector but who have/have had considerable interaction with PE players from 2007 to the present.<br>A indústria de private equity experimentava um boom fenomenal na virada do século, mas entrou bruscamente em colapso em 2008 com o início da crise financeira. Considerada uma das piores crises desde a Grande Depressão dos anos 30, a crise financeira havia reverberado ao redor do mundo ameaçando o colapso de instituições financeiras e provocando uma crise de liquidez seguida por um enorme declínio da atividade econômica e recessão. Além disso, a fisionomia do cenário financeiro se havia alterado consideravelmente com bancos que retiravam-se do espaço de concessão de empréstimos, acompanhados por um endurecimento das regulações financeiras que buscavam melhor conter um risco sistêmico. Dado o novo conjunto de mudanças e desafios que surgiram deste período de turbulência financeira, a indústria do private equity encontrou-se tendo que colocar em questionamento práticas e métodos correntes de operação a fim de ajustar-se às duras realidades de um novo mundo pós-apocalíptico. Consequentemente, este estudo busca explorar como o negócio, gestão e modelo operacional de private equity evoluíram desde a crise do crédito com um foco específico em mercados maduros como os Estados Unidos e a Europa. Mais especificamente, este estudo visa reunir percepções acerca do desenvolvimento da indústria desde a crise na Europa Ocidental, através de uma abordagem de estudo de caso usando como base entrevistas com professionais que trabalham na indústria e aqueles externos ao setor, mas que têm/tinham interações consideráveis com atores do PE de 2007 ao dias atuais.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the policy response to the 2007-2010 sanitary crisis in the Chilean salmon industry, the second largest producer and exporter of salmon in the world. This industry is an emblematic case of the possible consequences of employing an intensive natural resource model for development. The research draws upon the two literatures on policy learning and policy change, and crisis and disaster management, and upon the system failure to explain the causes and consequences of the sanitary crisis in the industry. The thesis employs the qualitative method of case study and utilises primary and secondary sources of data and information. The main argument of the research is that the process of policy learning during and following catastrophic events is very different from the process of the policy learning during normal times. The main findings are, firstly, in the case of the Chilean salmon industry, the sanitary crisis disrupted the industry governance processes, including the regulatory framework of the industry, opening a window for radical institutional change. Secondly, potentially radical measures were part of a set of policies that emerged as initial responses, after which a set of more incremental policy responses were developed and applied. Moreover, the sanitary crisis was not transient nor episodic but was enduring, persistent and dynamic. Thirdly, the policy responses to the sanitary crisis destabilised the consensus in the Chilean industry causing conflict and ambiguity over policy responses. The thesis contributes to the policy learning and policy change literature in the context of catastrophic events by extending the view this literature offers on dramatic events such as crises, by considering them as dynamic and persistent situations, analysing their potential as precipitators of radical policy change, and providing a means for considering the timing and processes by which this radical policy change may occur and be directed toward better social outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
In this study I investigate the impact different director types have on firm commitments to voluntary labor regulation. Using an author-constructed dataset of eight focal firm’s boards of directors for a nineteen-year period, I examine the impacts of gender and racial diversity, as well as the inclusion of independent interlocking board members on firm commitments to voluntary labor regulation following a legitimacy crisis in the 1990s. Framing firms’ responses within a chronological approach to institutional theory, I test how trends for these three director types varied for firms most and least committed to voluntary labor regulation, as well as for firms that underwent bankruptcy, an acquisition, or split into various firms between 1996 and 2014. Findings suggest that firms view gender and racial diversity in similar ways, but independent interlocks as a separate strategy. All firms increased the number of women and racial minorities on their boards, with least committed firms having the highest percentages of both over this entire period. Use of independent interlocks increased at a moderate rate for most committed firms, decreased over time for least committed firms, and increased significantly for firms going through additional crises (bankruptcy, an acquisition, or splitting up). This study contributes to theory and research on organizational change by extending understanding of mechanisms that drive organizational change in response to crisis by analyzing internal normative mechanisms that shaped firms’ responses. It extends research on board composition by analyzing the conditions under which board diversity and interlocked board members are sought by focal firms. Understanding how and why board diversity and independent interlock membership serve as mechanisms of internal, normative change provides insight into what internal mechanisms shape organizational policies and practices, and provide a correction to the over-focus on external, coercive mechanisms in existing scholarship.

Full textAbstract:
The marked disintegration of the UK banking system in 2008 led to significant Government ownership in two major banks: The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) (National Audit Office, 2009). The banks are termed ‘quasi-nationalised’ due to the retention of stock exchange listings alongside Government ownership The thesis offers a documentary analysis on the public accountability of these banks. The research themes are: - The impact of Government intervention on the accountability of the quasi-nationalised banks - The banking crisis through the lens of financial reporting for RBS and LBG - Newspaper reporting of the banking crisis in RBS and LBG A multiple theory framework is utilised in the study. Property rights (Alchian, 1974; Alchian and Demsetz, 1973; Demsetz, 1967) and agency theory (Fama, 1980; Jensen and Meckling, 1976) explore the implications of Government Intervention. Impression Management and Stigma (Goffman, 1968; Goffman, 1956a) are used to critique financial reporting since the crisis. Critical Discourse Analysis assesses newspaper reporting of the banks’ finances (Fairclough, 2010; Fairclough, 1995). Summary findings for the three research themes are as follows. Quasi-nationalisation has been a positive response to the banking crisis. Banks acknowledge they must consider societal responsibilities as well as corporate profits. Yet the increased accountability mechanisms have been difficult to define and enforce. Property rights theory applauds the retention of private sector scrutiny. Agency theory, however, identifies the muted disciplinary effects of the markets in the circumstances. The banks’ financial reporting gives an alternative perspective on the banking crisis. Both banks acknowledge their role in the crisis but simultaneously distance themselves from it. RBS highlights the virtues of a ‘new’ bank different from the failed one. LBG explains poor results through ‘market dislocation’. The statutory accounts themselves are relegated in favour of managerially defined pro forma numbers and promotional materials. In this way, the statutory numbers can be seen as part of the ‘dirty work’ (Goffman, 1956b) of the crisis. Using critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, 2010; Fairclough, 1995), findings are that newspaper reporting of the banks’ accounting results occurs across a broad spectrum of titles and articles. Headlines favour big numbers for impact. But constant focus on banking pay endures. The accounts provide an important counterpoint to the news context of the banks. Positively, accounting is portrayed as a neutral challenger to the public relations news process and fulfils democratic accountability. Critically, however, it is in the interests of papers to create and sustain media panics (Leach, 2006). The thesis responds to calls for literature on the financial crisis (British Accounting Review, 2012; Journal of Accounting and Public Policy, 2011; Arnold, 2009), multi-theoretical research in the public sector (Jacobs, 2012; Kurunmäki et al., 2003), linguistic theory in accounting (Evans, 2010) and accounting in the tabloids (Jeacle, 2012) as well as interpretive research in financial reporting (London School of Economics, 2011; Brennan and Solomon, 2008; Parker, 2007).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how the legitimacy and reputation of firms that have experienced severe crises can be restored through the means of crisis management and crisis communication strategies. Our focus is on the airline industry, analyzing how three European airlines have communicated and acted towards important shareholders during and following a fatal airline accident. The airlines that have been compared are Air France, Spanair and SAS; an analysis of their press releases, press conferences, annual reports and websites has been conducted. We found that Air France and SAS communicated more information compared to Spanair and also showed that they had a clear strategy to uphold their legitimacy through the crisis. When dealing with a crisis many stakeholders have a high demand for information and if the airline satisfies this need in a satisfactory way they live up to the stakeholders expectations and gain legitimacy. Communicating a clear strategy as to how the airline is working towards improving flight safety can be seen as an important part of upholding the airline's legitimacy and reputation after an airline accident, something that especially Air France has done through clear safety communications through their annual report and website.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyzes how the Swedish intra-industry trade, simultaneous import and export of goods in the same industry, has changed after the Eurozone crisis occurred year 2008. The hypothesis is associated with trade theory regarding more intense intra-industry trade between countries with similar economic structure, development and market size. The crisis-effect is assumed to decrease the two-way trade between Sweden and countries with large economic differences and stay unchanged between Sweden and countries with similar economic structures. By conducting three different models that evaluates the effects in different steps, the main findings are supporting the hypothesis. The intra-industry trade intensity has increased for the cluster of countries with low or medium difference in GDP per capita compared to Sweden, and decreased for those countries with large difference. The explanation to these findings is that the international trade has experienced simultaneous development for both Sweden and partner countries and this has generated equalized two-way trade between similar economies, there could also be the possibility of long-term trade contracts that are less sensitive when a crisis occurs. The countries with larger economic difference has been affected in a larger extent which has led to decreased two-way trade, probably caused by a greater gap between countries economic structures and consumer demands.

Mestrado Decisão Económica e Empresarial<br>O presente estudo de caso tem como objectivo analisar o papel do sistema bancário
Português na actual crise económica Portuguesa. Os factos revelam a existência de uma crise bancária Portuguesa, com início em 2008 e que precedeu a grave crise económica, marcada pelo programa de resgate a Portugal, iniciado em Abril de 2011.
Sugere-se que a crise bancária Portuguesa pode estar relacionada com a adesão de
Portugal ao Euro, que eliminou o risco cambial, na zona Euro. No entanto, os riscos de crédito e de liquidez não desapareceram. De facto, as evidências indicam que após a
adesão ao Euro, os bancos Portugueses intensificaram o seu endividamento junto do
exterior, atingindo no final de 2007, um total de 82,0% de passivo junto de instituições financeiras estrangeiras, em relação ao PIB nominal. Esta situação contribuiu para uma bonança de fluxo de capitais, injectando liquidez na economia e, desta forma, sustentando uma fase expansionista de empréstimo e de aumento do consumo pelo crédito. Após esta fase, Portugal entrou numa fase de contracção e posteriormente de falha, em linha com estudos publicados anteriormente e originando uma crise bancária e económica. Ambas as crises foram amplificadas devido à crise das dívidas soberanas na Europa e ao programa de resgate a Portugal. Considerando indicadores utilizados para estudar crises bancárias noutros países, esta tese identifica uma crise bancária Portuguesa, marcada por quatro episódios distintos. Nomeadamente, 1) corrida aos depósitos de dois bancos e a nacionalização de um desses bancos em 2008; b) a dissolução e falência do outro banco em 2010; c) garantias públicas de aproximadamente 6,9% do PIB nominal aos principais bancos Portugueses,
em 2011; d) custos públicos de recapitalização dos principais bancos Portugueses, de aproximadamente 4,0% do PIB nominal, em 2012. Durante este período de tempo, o
Governo Português aumentou a dívida soberana Portuguesa e solicitou um programa de resgate financeiro à Troika, em Abril de 2011.<br>This case study intends to investigate the role of the Portuguese banking industry in the great economic crisis that Portugal is currently experiencing. The evidence shows the existence of a Portuguese banking crisis starting in 2008, and preceding the great
economic crisis, marked by the Portuguese bailout program, initiated in April 2011.
It is suggested that the Portuguese banking crisis may be related with the behavior of the Portuguese banking industry upon Portugal has joined the Euro Currency, which
eliminated the exchange rate risk within the Euro Area. Though, the credit and liquidity
risks were not completely vanished. In fact, the evidence seems to indicate that upon
joining the Euro, the Portuguese banks started a process of intensive borrowing from
foreign financial institutions, reaching total outstanding liabilities of 82,0% over the Portuguese nominal GDP, in 2007. This has contributed to a capital flow bonanza,
pumping liquidity into the local economy, and thus sustaining both lending and creditdriven consumption booms. After the boom, Portugal entered a bust phase, in line with the published literature and originating a banking and economic crisis. Both crises were amplified due to the European sovereign debts and the Portuguese bailout program. Using published indicators referred to study banking crises in other countries, a Portuguese banking crisis is identified, marked by four episodes. Namely, 1) two bank runs and a Government takeover of one of the banks in 2008; 2) the bankruptcy of the other bank in 2010; 3) Government guarantees of approximately 6,9% of the nominal GDP to the major Portuguese banks, in 2011; and 4) Government recapitalization costs of approximately 4,0% of the nominal GDP to the major Portuguese banks, in 2012. During this time period, the Portuguese government increased the level of its sovereign debt, and has requested for the bailout assistance from Troika, in April 2011.

Innovation and technological improvements are essential components in generating growth. While this topic is well studied, limited research exists on the effectiveness of innovation and how it drives firm value. The 2008 Financial Crisis serves as a major historical event that significantly changed the economic environment in the US. Centering my analysis around this event, my study empirically examines the efficiency of innovation investments and industry-level stock returns. By taking patents issued as a percentage of R&D outlays, I measure Efficient Innovation—how effective a firm’s R&D is in generating significant innovative change.

The Automobile Industry is one of the most important sectors of the European economy. Together with the decreasing production and new registrations of passenger cars, another trend seems to have been arising over the years: Europeans are driving less and are likely to continue doing so. The effects of such a phenomenon – also known as “peak car” – are intertwined with mobility regulations and future urban development plans. Very little evidence, however, exits on how the current industry players, in particular carmakers, are adapting to the new scenario. In this dissertation, I explore what are the opportunities for the industry main players of the “peak car” and the following changes in both the dominant architecture of cars as well as of urban mobility systems.

The 2013 Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh extended a single, focal crisis organisation to ignite a catalyst for change across the fast fashion industry to create a crisis spillover. Through the lens of this global crisis, Coombs' (2007, 2015) Situational Crisis Communication Theory was employed to explore short- and long-term organisational response strategies through corporate social responsibility. The study found that crisis responsibility was not shared equally among implicated organisations and influenced variations in stakeholders' blame attributions. Through evidence-based guidelines, this study provides theoretical and practical implications for reputation management in light of a crisis spillover.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an exploration of the effects that an Italian city and internationally known industrial district, Valenza, experienced during the downturn of its principal economy, jewellery production, between 2008 and 2010. The thesis asks how the relationship between a community and a form of economy is perceived, established and performed, and how a downturn can reverberate throughout this web of meanings and practices. In so doing, it contributes to the anthropological debates on Italy, flexible industrialisation and economic crises, and explores themes of disciplinary interest such as public rhetoric, emplacement, industry, crafts, unemployment, and precarisation. In the first part of the thesis I show how the connections between Valenza and its jewellery industry appear through the widespread identity rhetoric (Chapter 1), the deep penetration of jewellery production into the urban fabric (Chapter 2), as well as in the goldsmiths’ way of understanding production, ‘artigianalità’ and entrepreneurship (Chapters 3 and 4). In the second part of the work, I show that the downturn led to a rise in unemployment and a worsening of work and economic conditions for individuals and firms that undermined the basis of the participation of the community in the business. On the one hand, the loss of their jobs obliged (ex-) goldsmiths to re-think and re-shape their world, by abandoning the practices, spaces and social networks associated with their previous work (Chapter 6). On the other hand, the worsening of economic conditions led to a disaggregation of the network of firms and a ruination of the industrial landscape forcing goldsmiths to question their economic model and its future (Chapter 7). More broadly, the downturn became an object of the discourse of the city and an object of knowledge of its community that led to challenge the identity rhetoric and start discussing futures of a city without gold (Chapter 8).

In addition, according to the study proposed from 2015 onwards the banking crisis characteristics. In the study, the total signal index was observed from August 2008 (8 months ago) to give the signal, and in March 2009 (1 month ago) stronger given the signal from 2009 to 2010 the banking crisis. The overall signal indicator gives a signal from March 2015 starting from June 2015 (over the first threshold), indicating that the Mongolian banking industry is starting a crisis. So in August 2016 (more than the second threshold) is clearly given the signal to remind the banking industry may be affected by the crisis.

Wei, Jia. "China's film industry: crisis or transition?" Master's thesis, 1998. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/9922.
Full textAbstract:
After three long decades of devastating political movements that followed on from the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Communist Party began devoting itself to economic reconstruction from the late 1970s. The stormy economic reforms that started in 1979, achieved tremendous successes in the rural areas and soon swept to urban centres, One government priority was now to open China up to the outside world. A related aim has been to reform China's economy through market-based policies and mechanisems. Along with these economic achivements, the reforms have also affected other aspects of society, such as customary life-styles, beliefs, values and traditions. The Chinese film industry which, since the founding of the People's Republic of China has operated as a mass medium serving China's state socialism, has been one of the sectors undergoing change as a economic reform. The Communist Party used the film industry as a tool for political education and propaganda; accordingly it created and financed centralized structures to make, distribute and screen films. Under the impact of market forces that bureaucratic framework has by now largely broken down, but a commercially viable system of production and distribution has yet to effectively evolve to take its place.
In market-oriented economies, film-making is largely a business, usually a heavily capitalized business that of necessity constantly seeks to identify, stimulate and respond to consumer demands. It requires shrewd commercial judgment and often involves an element of risk-taking. Only in recent years, however, have the Chinese government and the film industry paid attention to the commercial nature of the film industry. The Chinese film industry and its governmental regulators are still trying to come to terms with film-making as a demand-driven commercial enterprise. "China's film industry is in a period of transition," commented Wu Mengchen, president of the China Film Import and Export Corporation in late 1995. "One of the main characteristics is that it is changing from a welfare-state mode to a money-making mode. Since the mid-1980s, when the Chinese government and film industry first began emphasizing the profit element in film-making, both critics and the media have repeatedly expressed the view that a crisis(weiji) was developing that threatened the contemporary Chinese film industry.
The question this paper attempts to address is whether or not there is a crisis, or whether the Chinese film industry is simply experiencing a changing economic and cultural
pattern. There is no doubt that, in the post-Mao period of economic reform, serious problems of financing and administrative disruption have occurred in many sectors of society. But perhaps the film industry, like other industries in China, is simply undergoing a prolonged but salutary experience of being exposed to market forces and can be left eventually to achieve whatever level of functioning and profitability it proves capable of The problems, however, involve more than economics and finance. As a propaganda tool of the Communist Party, Chinese films previously never achieved success as a serious art form; art was always subordinate to film's heavy-handed political message. But, in the last few decades, a number of Chinese films have startled critics and captivated audiences around the world. Some have been submitted to the Academy Awards (Oscars), Cannes, Berlin and other international film juries from which they have received unprecedented acclaim and attention. Chinese cinema has now repeatedly shown that it has world-class potential as a producer of quality films, but political and bureaucratic controls still hamper innovation and distort filmmakers' choice of content and treatment. To realise its potential, the Chinese film industry needs to free itself of many government controls and many financial uncertainties and problems that persist in the wake of the collapse of the old industry framework. Such problems include forcing studios to produce shoddy 'entertainment films' for quick domestic returns, with the result that potentially vast Chinese audiences are not being attracted back to the cinema, or are being turned off cinema in favour of alternative forms of entertainment, or are boycotting Chinese made movies in favour of Hollywood and Hong Kong imports. At stake is more than a profitable domestic industry and prestigious international market. The Chinese film industry has a unique potential to project Chinese identity and talents abroad and make them accessible to the world. In addition, a vigorous and independent film industry could be uniquely valuable in helping the Chinese people to understand and come to terms with past traumas, and to progressively redefine themselves in this period of rapid economic and social change. The alternative to a financially viable indigenous film industry seems, on present indications, to be a low-output industry producing generally low-grade films, dependent on foreign investors to finance its quality productions, and increasingly vulnerable to domination not only by foreign imports but also by foreign cultural models. In exploring these questions, this paper aims at examining the status quo of the Chinese film industry. First, this paper will summarize arguments by Chinese scholars and critics which support the notion that contemporary Chinese cinema is experiencing a crisis. Essays dealing with this topic published in various Chinese periodicals such as Dianying yishu (Cinema Art), Dianying pingjie (Film Review), Dangdai dianying (Contemporary Cinema), Liaowang (Vision) and so on, from 1986 to 1996, state the major reasons for this perceived crisis as follows: the rapid decrease in box-office receipts; the closure of many film theatres; the tenuous position of major fllm studios and the harsh reality of internationally-acclaimed Chinese films which are box-office failures in China itself Second, I will give an analytical account of the Chinese film industry, from the perspectives of history, politics and culture. I will discuss how the old system of the Chinese film industry is out of step with Deng's reforms, and how new problems have resulted from film industry reform itself. Certainly, there are some sensitive issues that have not been aired in the Chinese media. Chris Berry, for example, argues that even though financial problems exist, Chinese new wave cinema is not only attacked for its commercial failure; also involved is state political policy.2 Paul G. Pickowicz holds that the post-Mao state retreated from the film industry, but "they never really gave up control Miklos Haraszti argues that artists, under modern socialist regimes, were placed in a comfortable 'velvet prison', with better housing, higher incomes, foreign travel, and access to restricted publication and films. As a result they became part of the political elite, although the process caused some artists to believe that they gained independence or autonomy from the state. Consequently I will discuss Chinese film-making and the 'freedoms' it has enjoyed in the economic reform era of 1979-1996. As 80 per cent of the Chinese population live in rural areas, the discussion in this chapter will focus on film distribution and screening in the countryside and how this huge market has diminished. The paper will go on to examine how the Chinese film industry has faced unprecedented competition not only from alternative entertainment, such as television or video, but also from pirated films and videos. Third, this paper attempts to analyze whether so-called entertainment cinema (yule yingpian) and co-produced film ventures (hepai yingpian) 5 which were adapted for Chinese cultural, political and economic realities have helped ameliorate the situation. The guiding idea behind the creation of Chinese entertainment cinema has been inspired by Hollywood. This paper will briefly analyze the Hollywood film industry in comparison with the Chinese industry from a cultural and commercial perspective, as well as in terms of its economic underpinning. My discussion also includes Hong Kong, as it has been one of the few places able to challenge the impact of Hollywood movies. The conclusion looks at contradictions between China's deep-rooted socialist bureaucracy and the new 'socialist market economy' as well as differences between traditional cultural norms and foreign influence. According to Deng Xiaoping's political program, China is experiencing an unprecedented period of economic reconstruction that has seen the introduction of 'a socialist market economy' in place of a centrally planned economy. The Chinese cinema, as one of many Chinese industries, is facing a multitude of unresolved difficulties which have emerged as a result of the new economic policies. There are no clear-cut answers as to whether this model of reform will work for China.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>元智大學<br>管理研究所<br>94<br>Abstract
Controversies associated with the transactions of futures were frequently occurred, especially in some illegal situations. Even more, it’s probable to evoke an enterprise crisis. Should there be any effective mechanism of management before the crisis? And, how to handle the situations after the crisis? In this study, we’ll delineate a practical model in crisis management of the futures industry.
Literatures associated with crisis management were reviewed. We choose the crisis counselor mind-set model proposed by Jeffrey R. Coponigro et al. in 2000 for our case study . The study case is 「H」 Futures Corporation with the event of the business suspension in 2005.
In facing the transactional risks of the futures industry, there were already some tight mechanisms to prevent any possible risk. However, the mechanism is not yet able to prevent all the risks. Thus a crisis management plan is necessary to be proposed before the happening of any possible crisis. Once the crisis happens, the business should form a crisis management team and work immediately and effectively, in order not to deteriorate the situation. During the crisis, public information is important in evaluating the progress, and also in forming the strategy of further management. In case of any change in situation, the strategy should be changed to fit the maximal benefit of the enterprise. The proposed crisis management plan would be suitable not only in one business, but also in the same industry.
In the target of our case study, some facts were revealed. Before the business suspension, some warning signals for risky transactions were neglected, that makes small risks to aggregate into a large crisis. However, this business applied appropriate management after the suspension. A crisis management team was formed immediately. The routine daily operation and transaction were successfully transferred into other authorized futures corporation, those helped stabilizing the confidence of employees and customers. The communications between the business and major customers were well established, this also stabilized the whole situation of crisis. During the suspension, they collect the opinions of this event from public, in order to monitor the progress of crisis. When the pressure relieved, the strategy should be changed to cease the suspension and re-operate the business.
In this study, we provide some recommendations regarding the strategies of conducting and managing this kind of business:
I Recommended strategies in conducting business
1、The business should keep the crisis management, in order to prevent the crisis recur.
2、The business should review all the business items to reduce the possible risks.
3、A fire wall should be created in the human resource management, in order to prevent risk expansion.
II Recommended strategies in managing business
1、The business should strengthen its risk management from the bottom up.
2、The business should rotate its employees from different department.
3、The business should keep analyzing the weak points in daily operation, as well as analyzing the public opinions.
4、The business should emphasize the role of audits, as well as the audit reports.
5、For the high-risk parts, the business should replace the routine audits by specialized authorization.

碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>工業管理系<br>101<br>During the celebration of the 19th anniversary, Frank decided his company would be acquired by a leading company in PC peripherals. The acquirement received a positive feedback from the international investors and boosted the market value of both companies. The acquirement was expected to expand the current business scope from network communication to cover PC peripherals, to implement a new management model and enhance the core management capability. However, Frank became anxious and uncertain after the evaluation came out. The thesis was written based on Harvard Business Case with teaching note style. The case is about an enterprise who had struggled to create the synergy needed for a successful expansion through a strategic alliance. However, the significant change in organization had caused an unexpected conflict of management. The case study is to analyze and compare the transformational approach vs. the incremental approach toward organizational change. The lesson is about the making of a successful transformation, a leader has to learn the core values of the change, and inspire his/her team to support with enthusiasm and determination.

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>國際經營管理碩士學程<br>103<br>Crisis management is considered as the process of “saving company’s face” after the major event that threatens to harm the company’s image. It is no wonder that this process is very important in the aviation industry, where the good name and the good reputation are necessary to successfully run the operations.
This study tries to find the question if the crisis management procedures the aviation industry has been using for years are affected by the recent rise of the social media and the revolution in communication the social media bring. Then, what is the opinion of the aviation industry’s crisis managers about the social media.
The research of this thesis shows, the social media change the way the crisis situations are reported and as a result it changed the way the crisis management should be carried. They make the news spread faster and become truly global, thus the company crisis response needs to be readjusted to this new situation. Yet, the case study and the survey suggests the industry did not create the new crisis management procedure that can be commonly used. To change this situation the several recommendations are proposed: include the social media in the crisis management plan, include the crisis management plan as a part of the corporate learning, create the clear policy of using the social media and make the company’s websites and social media platforms consistent.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>東海大學<br>工業工程與經營資訊學系<br>98<br>The banking industry in Taiwan is dramatically competitive and there many related financial problems. To enhance financial competitiveness, banks in Taiwan must be flexible and capable of undertaking various strategic initiatives. The purpose of this paper is to study the operating efficiency of Taiwan’s banking system during period of financial crisis, and to discuss the influences affecting the systems operating efficiency. Successful banks are characterized by high operating efficiency and relatively low risk. This paper also discusses the relationship between operating efficiency and risk of individual banks and provides suggestions for improving their operating efficiency.
This study separates banks into two categories; (1) banks operating under a financial holding company which consists of 13 banks and (2) those banks which are operating independently consisting of 12 banks. The sampling period was from CY 2006 through 2009. To start with, input oriented DEA approach is used to analyze the operating efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency. The input variables include; fixed assets, deposits, interest expense and other operating expenses; outputs consist of loans, investments and operating incomes. Further, window analysis is used to evaluate the relationship between operating efficiency and risk for each individual bank contained in this study. In the final stage, the Malmquist Productivity Index is employed to examine the trend of productivity change.
The results suggest that: (1) the banks operating under a financial holding company perform better and are more stable than independent banks in terms of technical, pure technical, and scale efficiency during periods of financial crisis, due to larger loan services with relatively low risk. (2) The banks under a financial holding company are typified by high and stable operating efficiency in the high-risk environment, because their operating scale is larger enough to distribute operational risks. (3). With regard to resource allocation and utilization, improvement of administrative skills, and product innovation, the productivity of the banks under a financial holding company tend to mature and outperform independent banks.
