 Hiding the crisis

Hiding Crises in Lebanon

1. selling the crisis: In the event of a crisis, the time may become accidentally wrong. For example, a crisis manager is on board a plane for the purpose of work and suddenly it reveals that he lost the private phone of the smart company, and that he takes one of the clients to another company because it is known that when the managers are a company traveling for work, there are no business managers inside. After that, the competitors get to know special information about the company, which leads to a major crisis. Here the director is confused and does not know what to do and then he persuades clients that things are okay, there is no crisis.
2. Frame is a way a problem is presented. It can show 1 problem, and hide other problems. For example, that the manger hide that the economy is in a poor condition during the situation of corona virus but he didn’t say and hide all the information related.
3. Also, it is possible to fail by a decision taken by the manager and causing a major crisis related to employees or financial matters and not to recognize them and take solutions based on their personal responsibility.

 

The solution to getting away from this crisis is to get the wrong thing immediately and work to take full responsibility with all the obligations. The most important thing is that when the company hires people and gives them their positions, they know the experience they have and that the net is in them and not hide any mistake that affects the work and it is possible that the uncle is a common group to find the quick and easy solutions.

How can they frame the crisis?

1. The company’s fault must be recognized
2. Think about appropriate solutions
3. Show them to partners
4. Debate it out.
5. Announcement of solutions.

 

Part 3

Double crisis

The three factors are:

1. Message Overload: When the company gives many information that is not agreed upon by all members, which leads to an aggravation of the crisis, the clarification becomes an extremely difficult task. Whereas when the information is written in a way that is difficult to comprehend with the audience, it leads to a lack of knowing the facts and joining the unknown.
2. Errors in Group Decision-Making: When each of the partners works for his personal goals without agreeing with the rest of the parties, which leads to failure to assess the risks and the existence of the solution correctly. And also the search for information insufficiently or partially to a party. This also leads to many risks during the crisis.
3. Info Acquisition Bias: the more information that can be acquired to make a decision, the better, even if that extra information is irrelevant for the decision.

 

For example, transfer a false information lead the company lose their trust with their clients, so company should study every steps that do to get away from dangers.

Firstly, when there are many female teachers, they feel weary and dissatisfied with what the company offers of other products. Here the company allocates many clients due to the confidence gained. Secondly, when making decisions are not identical with each other and that each team is biased towards a certain thing that leads without any thinking or planning to the collapse of the company while working in the group and taking many ideas helps to expand the horizon and established many experiences that help in limiting the presence of the crisis and its situation quickly. Third, knowing the wrong information from the correct one helps a lot to know the causes of the crisis, including how to solve it because the manager who has experience on how to manage crises sits comfortably because he fully understands how he can solve it with a few losses.
