FIRST CALL FOR
ABSTRACTS AND PAPERS
The first international conference on Crisis
Communication at the Beginning of the 21st
Century took place at the University of Ilmenau,
Germany, in 2009. The second international
conference, organized by ASB Centre for
Corporate Communication, Aarhus School of
Business and Social Sciences, Aarhus University,
Denmark, will take place on October 6-8, 2011.
The theme of this conference is the complexity
characterizing all types of organizational and
societal crises, be they national or
international; a complexity to which
organizations and nation-states have to pay
attention in their crisis management and crisis
communication efforts. Thus, the challenge for
both scholars and practitioners is to develop
concepts, models, theories, and practical
approaches where this complexity is reflected and integrated.
Plenary speakers
Professor, PhD Priscilla Murphy,
Department of Strategic and Organizational Communication, Temple University,
co-author of Crisis Management in a Complex World (2008).
