The author suggests a wider approach to the problem of crisis management and integrates theoretical and practical achievements of administrative and social sciences. Crisis is interpreted as a new challenge rather than a threat.
Crisis does not arise without a reason or any signal. The main way of fighting against crisis is to use crisis management. The foundations of crisis management are based on: interim recognition, estimation of chances and risks, and realization of anti-crisis procedures and methods, that are oriented at controlling crisis in particular situations. The main objective of crisis management is learning to recognize the first symptoms of a crisis and to develop appropriate strategy of overcoming it.
Crisis management solutions can vary according to the particularities of the situation and can be very dynamic. This is the reason why unconventional methods should be used.
