On Aug. 26, 2006, Barrel Boy had yet to don a barrel. He was in his early 20s and came to work at iHeartMedia KNIX Phoenix (102.5), hopelessly hungover after a night of heavy drinking at a bowling alley. Barrel and friends were celebrating the first night of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s “Soul 2 Soul Tour” doubleheader in Phoenix. His PD sent him home, told him to pull himself together and return to cover the second shift. Retribution, he said, was in order. Barrel Boy wasn’t in trouble, but the PD wanted to have some fun at his expense. (Continued on page 4) COUNTRY INSIDER TOP 5: WUBL’s Angie Ward: From College Radio To Country Radio Hall of Fame.

  • Crisis! What Crisis? a Descriptive and Normat Ive Study on Crisis Management for Tour Operators
    Crisis! What Crisis? A Descriptive and Normat ive Study on Crisis Management for Tour Operators Lönnroth Tanja and Saboundji Akram Graduate Business School Tourism and Hospitality Management Master Thesis No. 2007:34 Supervisor: Eva Gustavsson Abstract This study attempts to identify crisis management practices deployed by tour operators to face crises. Tour operators exercise a pivotal role in channelling tourism flows. Nevertheless, this role is often destabilized by crises in an increasingly volatile environment. Hence, sustaining the tour operators’ role and ensuring their long term growth demands a formal crisis management system. Yet, the ambiguous nature of the tour operating industry inhibits researchers from exploring existing crisis management practices. Therefore probing, metaphorically, is used to conduct an overview of these practices. It relies on a multiphase scanning of different sources representing various tour operators’ internal and external stakeholders. The study reveals that many tour operators consider crisis management as an operational issue, although crises are dealt with strategically. Furthermore, a generally adoptable crisis management system could not be clearly identified. As such, a flexible crisis management framework is suggested for tour operators to consider. The framework is based on the concepts of latent and active prevention, operational and strategic responses, legitimization, and organizational learning. The framework is also used to suggest areas for future research. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST
