EMBA-850 Crisis Management

In todays global climate, top leaders must be prepared to respond to any emergency. This course examines the four phases of incident management: preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery through immersion of practices employed in historical, universal, and local emergencies. Students will become familiar with in-depth incident action planning and practice and usage of response/business continuity techniques to manage organizational crises. With a focus on how to maintain continuity of operations during emergencies and mitigate potential impact to business, students will come away with a clear understanding of the importance of concise internal and external planning, communication, and allocation of resources in high stakes environments under duress. This course will assist future leaders in realizing their full capacity to manage crisis rather than allowing the crisis to manage them.
