Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
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.

Inefficient supply chains result in unsold inventory and unfilled customer orders, posing a significant risk to company profitability and consumer satisfaction. The purpose of this single case study was to explore strategies supply chain managers in the manufacturing industry used to match the level of unsold inventory in the supply chain with customer demand consistently.

Abstract:
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 base
