How do public organizations manage crises? How do public organizations learnfrom crises? These seemingly basic questions still pose virtual puzzles for crisismanagement researchers.

In this doctoral dissertationEdward Deverell sheds light on the problems regarding the lack ofknowledge on how public organizations manage and learn from crises, with anumber of critical knowledge gaps in contemporary crisis management as thestarting point.

Abstract:

After the devastating forest fire in the Swedish region of Västmanland in 2014, numerous investigations and evaluations suggested measures to improve the Swedish crisis management and preparedness. Yet, after a new wave of severe forest fires in 2018, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) concluded that the lessons from 2014 had not been sufficiently implemented, since several issues reoccurred. The research area of obstacles to crisis-induced learning among public organizations is rather young, and any widely acknowledged theories are still lacking. This case study focuses on the crisi

Abstract:

With social media services becoming more and more popular, there now exists a constant stream of opinions publicly available on the Internet.

Abstract:

The current economic crisis that affects Europe, much deeper in the South has behind it bigger problems than purely economic. In this thesis, we advocate the existence of a crisis of leadership within the economic one, that somehow prevents nations from continue and escape from the crisis, since the solutions given are purely economic and not fix the hidden problems.We advocate for change in the form of lead as a strong support to find a solution. A better leadership from our governments is a support to overcome the crisis.In order to achieve this, in the first part of the thesis will explore

Given the unique nature of crises, a key capability of the crisis response system is to facilitate adaptive response structures in relation to the circumstances of any given crisis.

Training cooperative capabilities needed to foster adaptive crisis response has proven difficult, as well as reporting learnings from collaborative exercises in a useful manner. Based i

Abstract:

The world is facing an increase in natural disasters due to climate change, and Sweden is no exception. In the past 10 years Sweden has endured two large forest fires which devastated both land and property and which had huge financial impacts on society. Learning from such disasters is an important task for the crisis management system since learning is vital to be able to both prevent, prepare for, and manage new disasters. By conducting a qualitative in-depth analysis of the post-crisis learning process after the forest fire in 2014, this study aims to examine how actors learn from disaster

However, social media platforms, especially on Twitter, presents some drawbacks when it comes to gathering information during disasters. These drawbacks include information overload, message

Abstract:

In our complex world of today we see that the leader- and followership is getting harder and harder to “command and control” our organizations and our society. The awareness of the decision makers are often too fragmented in relation to the often complex real situations out there. The information is only flowing in organizational stovepipes and not across boundaries as it should today. The patterns of mutual complex dependencies have taken over and we have difficulties in controlling the consequences of our decisions. The relations over organizational borders are often weak and fragmented and

Abstract:

An increasing number of students entering college lack the academic skills necessary to perform well at the college level, forcing professors and academic institutions to lower standards. Students approach higher education as a commodity, and as consumers they assert their desire for easier course work by giving poor evaluations to instructors whose courses they find too demanding or difficult. Eliminating student evaluations is one necessary change that will help reverse declining standards in higher education and increase performance; providing effective venues for supplemental instruction i

<p><p>The ability to deal with change gains in importance due to the fast moving environment. The current crisis reveals that it is not sufficient for companies to react.

Abstract:

Police officers today run the risk of being exposed to events that others will never experience during their lifetime. Many of these experiences may lead to traumatic memories that, in worst case, could make them never wanting to work as a police officer again. How can the police get better at taking care of their employees? This study aims to shed light over how the crisis-supporters perceive their learning within the activity of debriefing. The research questions asked are:” what moments in debriefing do the crisis-supporters identify as a learning activity?” and ”in what ways do the crisis-

Abstract:

Doutoramento em Matemática Aplicada à Economia e Gestão<br>This thesis may be broadly divided into 4 parts. In the first part, we do a literature review of the state of the art in misspecification in Macroeconomics, and what so far has been the contribution of a relatively new area of research called Uncertainty Quantification to the Macroeconomics subject. These reviews are essential to contextualize the contribution of this thesis in the furthering of research dedicated to correcting non-linear misspecifications, and to account for several other sources of uncertainty, when modelling from an
