After COVID-19. Reorientation of crisis management in crisis

Abstract

The occurrence of the COVID-19 Pandemic has revealed all the weaknesses of different organisations, including macrostructures – the States. It turned out that they are unprepared to COVID-19 Pandemic and at the same time pretending that they are controlling unpredictability, which is not valid. I collect information through a review of secondary data and observation of pandemic effects in several countries. In all countries, the effects of a pandemic are noticeable. It creates the slowdown of the economy and the introduction of restrictions on public life on an unprecedented scale. The effects of current economic restrictions will appear in a few months. I identified weaknesses in the crisis response and argue that any organisations also in macro-level should redefine the role of crisis management, which is in crisis. There is a need for a co‐evolving this system within the organisation, which means the necessity of reshaping crisis management from crisis management relational model into crisis management three-dimensional flexible model. Crisis management based on risk analysis may be useless in the context of organisational unpredictability.
