MGT6810 Risk and Crisis Management

Aims/Description: For the purposes of this module, risk and crisis management is seen to include issues relating to risk management and crisis prevention, as well as recovery and damage limitation. A core focus of the module is the manner in which organisations become dysfunctional. The module also provides a critique of some of the dominant theories within management. In particular, the role of latent managerial error, notions of incubation and error cost within decision-making and the development of organisational neuroses will be examined.
