Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Crises management has become very important in recent years due to both manmade and natural occurrences that could have disastrous effects on organizations. Crises cannot be effectively predicted or anticipated with a high level of certainty and this calls for some preparedness to handle crises whenever they occur. This study was designed to understand and describe the level of crisis management preparedness in a Ghanaian research institute. This was an exploratory study employing questionnaire for data collection. Majority of the respondents were not aware of the existence of any crisis management team in the organization. About 96.0% of respondents were not aware of the existence of crisis management plan in the organization. About 50.0% of respondents had identified some potential crises that could occur in the organization.
