    In 1984 James E.Grunig and Todd Hunt proposed several theories to crisis management of large companies. Two major parts are the apologia theory and the image restoration theory. The very basis of these theories is a proper response of the company towards the public (customer) and political audience (James Grunig as cited by Kathleen Fearn-Banks, 2007) Learning from the Valdez fiasco in 1989 authors like Steve Adubato (2008) stated that understanding the narrow window of opportunity to react is crucial for a successful crisis management. To show genuine concern for the situation it is important to send a high representative to the scene on short notice (Steve Adubato, 2008, p.24). Showing responsibility and direct reaction are also seen as most important in a crisis situation by…

In departments such as the Emergency Department (ED), crisis can generally be expected and the ED staff can safely believe that there will be a crisis during their shift. The outcome of the crisis can depend on how it is approached and dealt with. A patient’s rapid deterioration of their state of health or arrest in front of the family is a common crisis situation that occurs where I work. This puts the staff as well as the patient and patient’s family in crisis mode. I feel that my job as the patient’s nurse is to make sure that the situation flows as efficiently as possible.

    Crisis Communication

    Business isn’t always about staying on top and trying to beat out the competition or make a name for the company. Sometimes, the issue can be simply staying afloat when harder times come. Businesses occasionally go through situations that could threaten or harm people or property, interrupt business, damage reputation or negatively impact share value. These situations make up the definition of a crisis. Every organization is vulnerable to crisis, whether that organization is large, small, successful, or just getting off the ground. Crisis is something that can determine whether a company will last or simply die out in the near future, so businesses should prepare themselves for times like these. Businesses that have failed because of crises, in the past, seemed to have lacked in proper crisis communication. Without adequate communication, operational response will break down, stakeholders usually react negatively in a confused panic, and the organization will be perceived as inept and criminally negligent (Brice). In order to better prepare for times of crisis, there are eight basic steps that have been implied by businesses that have overcome crises in the past. They require advance work in order to minimize damage, because more damaged is incurred if a business takes longer to respond to a crisis.…
