Big mistakes, misconduct, serious accidents and other disasters are
normally followed by investigations which explore what went wrong.
These produce recommendations to limit the damage from a future
event, or to prevent it altogether. In many cases, this doesn't
happen, and 'repeat crises' occur. Why should this be the case?
Surely, in the aftermath of extreme events, readiness for change
will be high? This book shows how the conventional 'rules' of
change management do not always apply in extreme contexts. It
explores other perspectives and approaches, as well as the
challenges of implementing change in the aftermath of extreme
events. Disastrous and tragic, such events are also useful in
providing an audit of organizations' systems, procedures,
practices, cultures, norms, and behaviours, exposing gaps and
flaws. The chapters in this book also establish guidelines for
practice, noting that conditions at the implementation phase have
implications for crisis management and the conduct of
investigations. In providing a comprehensive analysis of
organizational change and crisis management, the book develops a
fresh conceptualization of change and change processes in extreme
contexts. The result is a resource that will be vital reading for
advanced students, researchers and managers involved with
organizational studies and crisis management.
