Summary

Crises management is defined as a summary of managerial activities aimed at broad problematic, beginning with risk evaluation, through planning and organizing all the way to realization and verification of all activities performed in connection with the crises situation solution. After the subject completion, the student gains: clear idea about what is business crises and its management, enough information about the issues of business crises today and what kinds can we expect tomorrow, what does it take to manage them and also inspiration for his/her own effective steps in the field of crises management. To achieve these targets the subject is aimed at crises with economic characteristics – from its typology, symptoms, revitalization process, and prevention principles to way of closing the business. The subject emphasizes secure business continuity, which derives from complex approach to prevention, reaction to crises situation, consequence minimization and recovery from the crises situation. It considers securing continuity as a continuous process and as a set of countermeasures, which can prevent, overcome or significantly reduce the influence of interfering factors onto smooth and undisturbed activity.
