Crisis Partnership

Abstract

In Alas’s (2009) crisis management triangle, the crisis partnership triangle includes key partners, network, and shared values and ethics (Figure 5.1). In her earlier crisis articles, Ruth Alas (2009) defined the primary stakeholders as key partners and the secondary stakeholders as the network. According to Ulmer et al. (2007) stakeholders are groups that can have an impact on the organization. Curtin et al. (2005) segmented stakeholders as dependent, impacted, unknown, supporting and intractable.
