On the basis of the current situation of international cooperation of public crisis management, this paper analyses the flaws in it and suggests that the valid and sound international cooperative mechanism of regional public crisis management should be constructed on the background of economic globalization.

  • Relationship, Trust and Crisis Communication on Social Media with Millennials and Generation Z
    Relationship, trust and crisis communication on social media with millennials and generation Z by Danielle Golway B.A., Kansas State University, 2015 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Journalism and Mass Communication College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Approved by: Major Professor Xiaochen Angela Zhang Copyright © Danielle Golway 2017. Abstract This study examined crisis communication on social media applying relationship management theory. There are few credibility checks on social media platforms, and some say publics no longer believe messages through this type of media (Domonoske, 2016; Ho, 2012). However, many people get news from social media platforms and trust the information they read (Turcotte, York, Irving, Scholl, & Pingree, 2015). Crisis theories suggest strong relationships are less affected by crisis situations, and relationships are heavily based on trust (Broom, Casey, & Ritchey, 1997; Coombs, 2000; Coombs & Holladay, 2006; Ledingham, 2003). Through a survey, this study found a statistically significant positive relationship between perceived organization- public relationship, trust and, credibility in crisis communication on social media within the Millennial and Generation Z groups. These generations are the most active on social media, and this study challenged the claim that they do not believe information online (Richards, 2017; Statista, 2016). Keywords: Crisis Communication, Social Media, Relationship Management

    Essential Steps for Crisis Management and Crisis Containment Andromachi Ioannou – 126109 IB X3215 Dr. Andreas Andrianopoulos Word count: 3 , 0 3 2 4 / 2 1 / 2 0 1 5 2 Introduction While international business expansion undoubtedly presents many opportunities, there are also a multitude of challenges that companies face when deciding to operate on a global scale. This is because today’s international business environment is largely uncontrollable, highly uncertain and complex and constantly evolving, which exposes companies to multiple areas of risk. As a consequence, no organization, regardless of its size or strength is immune from a crisis that can strike unexpectedly, and that can have profound negative effects on its operations, can imperil future growth, profitability, and even the company’s survival. Managers must recognize the necessity to develop the skills to handle any threat and challenge that will inevitably arise, and make it a priority to be ready to handle such a crisis, through careful and meticulous preparation. A crisis is any situation or series of events that launch a group, team or an organization into a downward spiral, by threatening to harm people or property and negatively impact and damage an organization, its stakeholders, or even an entire industry if not handled effectively and efficiently, characterized by “high consequence, low probability, ambiguity, and decision- making time pressure,” (J. Hale, Dulek, and D. Hale, 2005), and always creates three inter related threats: public safety, financial loss due to disruption of operations and loss of market share, and inevitably reputation damage, because it reflects poorly on an organization (Coombs, 2011).
