| Abstract: | A clear understanding of the attributes of a crisis is crucial for its prediction, management, and control. However, crises are described by a wide array of attributes that are often contradictory and/or imprecise. In this article the authors describe three subsets of crises: technological disasters, crises of decline, and developmental crises. The authors reduce imprecisions by differentiating between those attributes that describe all crises from those that are specific to a subset. The authors provide a rationale as to how competing attributes co- exist. Implications for the study and management of crises are discussed. |
