This book addresses the challenges that healthcare organizations
experience when attempting to manage the emergence of troublesome
events or crises. It illustrates how experiences gained from event
and crisis containment efforts can better prepare these
organizations to prevent and/or manage other crises they may
experience. Using a model outlining the relationship between a
mismanaged event and the triggering of a crisis, the author defines
the role of the leadership in healthcare organizations when
developing, launching, and managing plans and programs to deal with
these dangerous challenges brought on by crises, catastrophes, and
disasters to their stakeholder networks. Readers with expertise in
leadership and crisis management in general and healthcare
management specifically will find this text useful in linking
leadership expectations and competencies to event and crisis
containment efforts.
This book explores how and why an event is a precursor to the
emergence of a crisis and how a given crisis affects an
organization and its stakeholders. Using existing systems theory
blended with innovative use of wave, epidemiological, immunological
and psycho-social theories, the author discusses ways to understand
the effects of different types of crises while showing how to
document and/or quantitatively measure those effects. The book
offers new models illustrating how events trigger crises and how
they subsequently morph into catastrophes and disasters. Using
theories and tools tested in organizational settings to identify
contributors to a traumatic event, this book makes a valuable
contribution to organizational and crisis management literature.

On one hand, marginals are complex organizational systems. On the
other hand, they are an example of elegant, applied organizational
operations. In The Marginal Organization, Tafoya focuses on
organizations often described as part of an informal economy,
informal sector, underground economy, or unofficial economy. He
presents these systems first as organizations and then as
organizations operating outside of society's mainstream, as
marginal organizations. He outlines a means for studying marginals
so that underlying behavioral patterns can be identified, examined
and, if needed, addressed. A simple approach to a study of marginal
organizations might conclude they exist simply to meet the needs of
their stakeholders - they do not. Thinking of marginals as
competing in the context of other organizations allows the reader
the opportunity to explore new themes, such as when and how
marginals may be more inventive and innovative that mainstream
organizations, and what one might conclude about illegal marginals
like drug pushers and prostitutes. Tafoya's newest contribution to
the field of organizational study is not to be missed.

Organizations in the Face of Crisis offers a new approach to the
treatment of threats to an organization, the brand, and the
stakeholders. Case studies and diagnostic tools are used to
demonstrate the effects of a crisis and to provide insight and
strategies on managing the crisis at hand as well as the long-term
effects.
An organization's brand is its most distinctive feature - it is a
mechanism for coordinating resources around its vision or mission.
Organizations in the Face of Crisis offers a new and unique
approach to the treatment of threats to an organization and its
brand. In this volume, key concepts associated with crisis events
are presented and analysed. Examination of ' brand trauma, ' the
potentially debilitating effects of a crisis on an organization,
reveals the pervasive nature of a crisis' effects and offers why
these effects can haunt a brand and its stakeholders long after the
crisis has passed. Tafoya also illustrates ways an organization's
core network can be shaken by the emergence of a new network
brought on by a crisis. This network, a 'stakeholder swarm',
functions to meet its own needs often by challenging the make-up,
control and flow of information, and even threatening the effected
organization's very existence. Case studies and diagnostic tools
are used to demonstrate the effects of a crisis on an organization
and its brand, and to provide insight and strategies on managing
the crisis at hand as well as the long-term effects that may be
linked to the crisis and its occurrence. This volume will appeal to
stakeholders on all sides of a crisis: from an organization's
managers, employees, customers or clients and to diverse fields of
study including law, medicine, religion, military, law enforcement
and regulation.

trauma with models and illustrations. Those in journalism, law and

relations specialists well as members of an organization's
