Staying Resilient During a Crisis - OR3050 Course Description:
Staying Resilient During a Crisis is the fifth course in the Essentials of Organizational Resilience Series.
A crisis does or has the potential to disrupt or affect an entire organization. Looking at the causal relationships among public relations expense, reputation and revenue, research has found that there is a valid and reliable relationship between a company’s expenditures on public relations and its reputation.
“Crises are now being judged not only by financial and ethical standards, but by whether the company handled its crisis effectively in the eyes of Wall Street, Madison Avenue, the plaintiff’s bar and 24 hour a day cable news.” (Eric Dezenhall in Damage Control, page 8) The focus of Staying Resilient During a Crisis is on crisis management and reputation management - looking at modern case studies of organizations who have done it well – and at some who have not done it as well.
The key reference for this course is Damage Control written by Eric Dezenhall.
