They confront a fundamental question about contemporary crisis management: to what extent is it possible to control events and stakeholder responses to them  in order to contain escalating crises or safeguard an organizations reputation? In Crisis Management in a Complex World  authors Dawn Gilpin and Priscilla Murphy address this question head-on. Operating from a strong theoretical orientation  this book marks a sharp departure from other crisis management texts  which focus on nuts-and-bolts procedures and information distribution in an effort to simplify the turbulent reality of a crisis situation. Instead  this book pairs real-world examples from across the globe with theory-based analysis to show why simplification often fails to alleviate crises  and can even intensify them. Gilpin and Murphy propose a new  complexity-based approach to organizational learning that can allow organizations to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.  This volume addresses both scholars and high-level practitioners of public relations  organizational communication  and strategic management. Strongly cross-disciplinary  the book draws on theories from communication  the physical sciences  and business. It invites controversy and ultimately aims to change the way people conceptualize and prepare for crises.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789762256949,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195328728","price":38.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195328721.jpg?v=1784697033","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/crisis-management-in-a-complex-world-9780195328721","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
