Natural disasters, instability in the finance and banking sector,
widespread social protests, and other crisis situations have
increasingly become the focus of public attention. With the growing
visibility of such events, accelerated by the rise and
proliferation of social media, the study of risk and crisis
management in the Internet age is of vital importance.Uncertainty
and Catastrophe Management is a clear and comprehensive guide to a
variety of crises, and seeks to offer practical advice on how best
to avoid them, minimize loss and damage once they have occurred,
and how best to recover from these situations. The book examines
104 cases that run the gamut from natural disasters such as the
2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, to social movements like the
Ukrainian protests in 2013, from the Syrian Electronic Army's
cyber-attacks, to the reputational damage to firms in the wake of a
corporate scandal.This book is a revised and expanded edition of
Akira Ishikawa and Atsushi Tsujimoto's book, Risk and Crisis
Management: 101 Cases, and explores a number of recent events. It
draws on the expertise of the contributors to the volume to create
a well-rounded book that will benefit professionals, academics, and
the general public alike. In particular, safety professionals,
public management professionals, CEOs, CIOs, students and
researchers will appreciate its pragmatic approach to dealing with
and recovering from crises in the interest of long-term survival
and sustainability.
