12 ) Managing a global crisis  

 

Using actual cases we consider how cultural differences affect the handling of  various crisis situations.  This entails an understanding of the expectations of urgency and openness of the major business cultures in relation to such questions as investor relations,  business interruption, products liability, financial scandals, sabotage and global ethical standards.

 

We consider how to act in the first 24 hours, the writing of press releases and golden rules on how to handle communication under pressure from the media at press conferences and TV interviews.
