Crisis management, as it relates to organizations, can take on many different forms. Crises, such as an organization losing its senior managers in a severe car crash, or facing bankruptcy proceedings, can threaten the existence of a company.

Many managers may view the probability for a crisis as low and, as such, may not adequately prepare for them. Managers that are knowledgeable, aware of potential crises, and that are capable of detecting early warning signs may minimize the effects and intensity of them. What appears to complicate or cloud the issue of crisis management within organizations results from bottom line and top level managers that may view their respective company contingent plans somewhat differently. Additionally, managers of publicly held organizations may share a somewhat different perception of crisis than managers of privately owned companies. It also becomes important to understand that crisis evolves through stages. This allows managers to better conceptualize and thus prepare for crisis.
