| Summary: | The paper is concerned with the potential or actual impact that free-market governmental principles and policies might have, or might have had, in helping to create a more crisis-prone world. It is concerned with organizationally-induced crises where organizations and their environment interact to create disasters. The nature of the crisis-prone organization is discussed in the context of the relevant management literature. It is argued that the disastrous interaction of such an organization with its environment is promoted by a laisser-faire attitude on the part of the authorities. This is illustrated in the context of two recent British disasters involving the King's Cross Underground fire and the sinking of the Herald of Free Enterprise. |
