Hierarchical culture and associated top-down communication method are especially referred as one of significant factors to cause recent series failure of crisis management. From this perspective, Ms. Binnaeri Kong will examine common characteristics of organization culture strong in critical moments and differences between the so called “crisis-prone” and “crisis-prepared” work culture.
