Description

Issues and Crisis Management: Exploring Issues, Crises, Risk and Reputation is designed to focus explicitly on issue and crisis management, as well as touching upon the related fields of risk and reputation. A common theme throughout is the close relationship between all of these areas and also the integration of these disciplines within the broader context of public relations and communications, as well as within the wider requirements of management.

  • Emphasises that issue and crisis management extends beyond communication and includes impact on risk and reputation.
  • Identifies the rise of the process approach which recognises that issue and crisis management are not standalone activities but fit within a continuum of management activity.
  • Addresses the role and impact of the use of social media across all the disciplines discussed.
  • Includes mini case studies relevant to the core chapter themes. These mini case studies all focus on examples from the Asia-Pacific region and are based on research by experts in the field.
  • A fully worked example of a detailed issue management plan is included as an appendix
