Paper detalis:
Examine a company or industry that has faced or is currently facing a crisis (or that is grappling with an issue, which threatens to become a crisis.)
Students should compare specific events and analyse the response of the organization, explaining how they (organizations) handled or should handle the crisis.
If students are analysing a company with a specific issue they should explore how the issue could lead to a crisis and how the company should act to prevent it.
In the light of the current COVID situation, students, for example, could discuss the impact of the epidemic on a company/ industry (from their country/ region) in terms of the different dimensions of crisis like political, economic, social, cultural and ecological.
Students can also discuss a country/region specific conflict/crisis situation and its resolution. It should be discussed in terms of the different stages/phases of crisis communication as discussed in the class.
