Examine a company or industry that has faced or is currently facing a crisis

Examine a company or industry that has faced or is currently facing a crisis (or that is grappling with an
issue, which threatens to become a crisis.)

Students should compare specific events and analyse the response of the organization, explaining how
they (organizations) handled or should handle the crisis. If students are analysing a company with a specific

issue they should explore how the issue could lead to a crisis and how the company should act to prevent
it.

In the light of the current COVID situation, students, for example, could discuss the impact of the

epidemic on a company/ industry (from their country/ region) in terms of the different dimensions of crisis
like political, economic, social, cultural and ecological.

Students can also discuss a country/region specific conflict/crisis situation and its resolution. It should be
discussed in terms of the different stages/phases of crisis communication as discussed in the class.
