Introduction

The scope of this project entails searching and identifying situations in the global environment that represent a crisis (or potential crisis) scenario in order to develop a critical/reflective crisis management mindset.

Articles from major media sources will be selected that are representative of these scenarios, and the following questions will be discussed in order to analyze the issue:

1.       What is the link to Crisis Management?

2.      What stage of Crisis Management does the system appear to be at?

3.      How well does the system appear to be handling the situation?

4.      What level of crisis preparedness does the system appear to have?

5.      What personal reactions/feelings does the description trigger in you?

6.      What advice would you offer to those involved?

This blog has been developed to be used as a communication tool for the Crisis Management and Communications course at the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University.
