Rezensionen

"Richard Edelman provides an introduction for Strategic Crisis Communication, a new book from James O'Rourke and Jeffrey Smith that outlines the steps an organization should take in the heat of a crisis."
O'Dwyer's, October 2023

"In Strategic Crisis Communication, the authors, a current academic and a crisis communications professional, offer mostly applied understandings of crisis communications, drawing on numerous case studies. The book makes several significant contributions. It clarifies the distinction between strategy and tactics, stresses the importance of understanding the crisis scenario before talking to others, recommends managing the crisis at the lowest level possible, and encourages organizations to keep their tactical abilities up to date...this book is well written and mostly comprehensive, with excellent corporate case studies."
