Our mixed-methods approach, which combines a comprehensive literature review with case studies of five multinational corporations, allows us to investigate the applications, challenges, and ethical implications of leveraging predictive models in communication strategies. While our findings reveal significant potential for enhancing personalized content delivery, real-time sentiment analysis, and proactive crisis management, we stress the need for careful consideration of challenges such as data privacy concerns and algorithmic bias. This emphasis on ethical implementation is crucial in navigating the complex landscape of predictive analytics in corporate communications. To address these issues, we propose a framework that prioritizes ethical considerations. Furthermore, we identify key areas for future research, thereby contributing to the evolving field of data-driven communication management.展开更多

Like statesmen, also the international security organizations have to foresee the coming or anticipated threats and opportunities, take the necessary precautions and when necessary even to react by using force. Starting from time of peace, all these require an effective crisis management system that would warn and manage the threats that would create such crises. There are, however, crisis management centers and situation rooms in the focal points of the physical substructure of the crisis management system. In this article, by looking at the attributions of an effective crisis management system, structure of the crisis management centers and situation rooms will be questioned at international and national levels.展开更多

This cas...In Ireland, in 2008, pig feed manufactured from recycled human food became contaminated with dioxin and this led to a global recall of all Irish pork products produced from 1st September to 6th December 2008. This case study illustrates several points a) the food chain is only as secure as its weakest link, b) due to the complexity of the modern food chain, once pork is processed, precise traceability to a particular farm of origin is impossible, c) even with a single food agency, overseeing the policing of the food chain, things can go wrong, d) it demonstrated the benefits of having credible consumer protection agencies to undertake scientific risk assessment and communicate with the public, e) if risk management decisions are taken quickly, and communicated in an open and transparent manner to the public, adverse human health effects can be avoided and consumer confidence can maintained, f) in the EU the legal limit for dioxins in pork fat is 1 picogram per gram (10-12 ) and attempting to communicate the risks associated with this level of contamination plus the concepts of bioaccumulation and body burden and the need for continued exposure to result in adverse health effects is extremely challenging, g) there was a major economic impact and damage to the country's reputation as a food exporter and finally h) it illustrates that prevention is better that crisis management. Other countries can learn lessons from this incident that may prevent similar occurrences in their jurisdictions.展开更多

The climax of the crisis theory appeared in the West in the late 20th century, Japan Masao Takizawa, a crisis management expert, believe that the definition of a crisis is ＂ the possibility of accidents,＂ and the management of crisis is the management of preventing loss, and therefore it is important to note how to save costs, and to achieve maximum effect. Crisis is a situation state, the fundamental objective of its decision-making theme is threatened, and there is very limited time available between decisions changing, which occurs as a surprise to the main body. Some scholars have tended to define it as a process of crisis, he said： the crisis is intense period of upheaval and collective period. During this time, the core values of everyday life and social system is threatened, and the threat is beyond our expectation, even unimaginable. This is the general definition used about the current crisis.展开更多

Norms regulate the actions of human actors based on the dynamics of the environment in which they are situated. This dynamics results from both environment evolution and actors' actions. Our objective is to situate norms in the environment in order to provide a context-aware crisis regulation. However, this coupling must be a loose one to keep both levels independent and easyto-change in order to face the complex and changing crisis situations. To that aim, we introduce a constitutive level between environmental and normative states providing a loose coupling of normative regulation with environment evolution. Norms are thus no more referring to environmental facts but to status functions, i.e., the institutional interpretation of environmental facts through constitutive rules. We present how this declarative and distinct SAI modelling succeeds in managing the crisis with a context-aware crisis regulation.展开更多

There exists a bottle neck in the transition from m iddle-level to international level group for Chinese companies. While the gener a l principles behind wise competition policy are well understood, their applicati on in particular industries and particular cases calls for careful analytical th inking. That thinking often includes economics. Innovation competition policy ca n be analyzed using the same general principles as other parts of competition po licy. It is important to understand innovation competition policy, because sever al kinds of innovation are important in the modern economy. How could such industries as software, semiconductors, and computers have been s o innovative despite historically weak patent protection? We argue that if innov ation is both sequential and complementary-as it certainly has been in those in dustries-competition can increase firms' future profits thus offsetting short- term dissipation of rents. A simple model also shows that in such a dynamic indu stry, patent protection may reduce overall innovation and social welfare. Standa rd arguments would predict that R&D intensity and productivity should have incre ased among patenting firms.展开更多

文摘In recent decades,numerous catastrophic accidents have occurred worldwide,ranging from natural events(such as tsunamis,flooding,and earthquakes)to industrial events(such as mining and chemical process disasters).They endanger humans,the environment,organizations,and societies,as well as national security.However,there have been few attempts to propose a model for assessing the required capabilities and potential challenges in crisis management system maturity(CMSM).Accordingly,this study proposes a framework for measuring CMSM levels in complex systems.To this end,a CMSM taxonomy was developed,including aspects,dimensions,and factors influencing the CMSM.Fuzzy inference sets and fuzzy analytical hierarchy processes are then used for knowledge acquisition,quantification of the CMSM,and dealing with epistemic uncertainty.An actual complex petrochemical plant is investigated to evaluate its capabilities.The findings revealed the most significant con-tributing factors:the CMSM’s current capability and challenges level(score),as well as the capacity to overcome the potential crisis response challenges.Moreover,the proposed model can be used as a practical approach for various chemical-processing plants.

文摘There are lots of management crisises in chinese enterprises with deve lopment of china's economy. There exists a bottle neck in the transition from m iddle-level to international level group for Chinese companies. While the gener a l principles behind wise competition policy are well understood, their applicati on in particular industries and particular cases calls for careful analytical th inking. That thinking often includes economics. Innovation competition policy ca n be analyzed using the same general principles as other parts of competition po licy. It is important to understand innovation competition policy, because sever al kinds of innovation are important in the modern economy. How could such industries as software, semiconductors, and computers have been s o innovative despite historically weak patent protection? We argue that if innov ation is both sequential and complementary-as it certainly has been in those in dustries-competition can increase firms' future profits thus offsetting short- term dissipation of rents. A simple model also shows that in such a dynamic indu stry, patent protection may reduce overall innovation and social welfare. Standa rd arguments would predict that R&D intensity and productivity should have incre ased among patenting firms.

文摘Corona Virus Disease-2019(COVID-19)was reported at first in Wuhan city,China by December 2019.World Health Organization(WHO)declared COVID-19 as a pandemic i.e.,global health crisis onMarch 11,2020.The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns to curb the spread,not only affected the economic status of a number of countries,but it also resulted in increased levels of Depression,Anxiety,and Stress(DAS)among people.Therefore,there is a need exists to comprehend the relationship among psycho-social factors in a country that is hypothetically affected by high levels of stress and fear;with tremendously-limitingmeasures of social distancing and lockdown in force;and with high rates of new cases and mortalities.With this motivation,the current study aims at investigating theDAS levels among college students during COVID-19 lockdown since they are identified as a highly-susceptible population.The current study proposes to develop Intelligent Feature Subset Selection withMachine Learning-based DAS predictive(IFSSML-DAS)model.The presented IFSSML-DAS model involves data preprocessing,Feature Subset Selection(FSS),classification,and parameter tuning.Besides,IFSSML-DAS model uses Group Gray Wolf Optimization based FSS(GGWO-FSS)technique to reduce the curse of dimensionality.In addition,Beetle Swarm Optimization based Least Square Support Vector Machine(BSO-LSSVM)model is also employed for classification in which the weight and bias parameters of the LSSVM model are optimally adjusted using BSO algorithm.The performance of the proposed IFSSML-DAS model was tested using a benchmark DASS-21 dataset and the results were investigated under different measures.The outcome of the study suggests the development of specialized programs to handleDAS among population so as to overcome COVID-19 crisis.
文摘During a period of profound adjustments to the international power structure,China-US financial competition may intensify and lead to a crisis for the international financial system and even the international power system.The China-US financial relationship is structured in mainly four dimensions:the international monetary system,bilateral financial exchanges,the international financial system and the construction of international financial and/or economic concepts.Management of this competition relationship is thereby four-pronged:managing the relationship between the RMB and the US dollar in the international monetary system,the China-US bilateral creditor-debtor relationship,the indirect China-US relationship in global financial governance organizations and normative frameworks,and the divergence of both countries in regard to their economic ideologies.In particular,to stabilize the international monetary system,China should postpone the strategic confrontation between the RMB and the US dollar,strengthening their complementarity and cooperation based on market choice and their monetary function.Meanwhile,China should be prudent as a creditor to the United States,neither coerced by its over-reliance on American financial markets,nor tempted to weaponize the US debt by dumping US bonds.Also,before aiming for systematic reforms,China should first aim to become a stakeholder in the current global financial governance system by comprehensively accepting and becoming deeply integrated into it.Finally,China should avoid the economic competition model between China and the United States,and should instead apply the“Chinese Approach”to better facilitate solutions to international problems.These approaches to crisis management aim to help China endure this turbulent period of the international power system with more prudent strategies and policies,and to maintain a relatively stable international financial and economic environment for the sustained rise of its economy and for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
