Focusing on the interplay between events and crises, the book delves into how crises impact organizations and their stakeholders. It integrates systems theory with wave, epidemiological, immunological, and psycho-social theories to provide a comprehensive understanding of crisis effects. The author presents new models that illustrate the progression from events to crises and potential disasters, alongside methods for documenting and measuring these impacts. This work significantly enhances the literature on organizational and crisis management by offering tested theories and tools for identifying trauma contributors.
