Management By Crisis (MBC)
In this type of management, decisions are taken only when a crisis develops.
This happens when the organization as a whole is incapable of thinking
systematically and scientifically about its future. Because of this, ad hoc decisions are
of the day When crisis develops executives are forced to take decisions at least to
put out fire.
But such decisions most often – though they temporarily put out fire – create future
crisis and the organization moves from one crisis to another, demoralizing the entire
system .
Even with all the drawbacks of this style of management one has to agree that a
certain amount of courage is required by the management to take decisions when
crisis develops. Unfortunately there are managements, which do not act even in
situations of crisis.
