Definition

  • A crisis is a significant issue affecting a firm or its stakeholders that, if left unattended, can lead to severely negative outcomes. Key characteristics of a crisis are that it requires an immediate response, has low probability of occurrence but high impact, and is clouded in ambiguity of cause, effect, and resolution.
