11	An intergrated crisis communication framework for strategic crisis communication with the media : a case study on a financial services provider Swart, Yolandi 03 1900 (has links) For organisations to survive in an ever-changing milieu, as evident from the current business environment, sufficient crisis communication and management practices need to be in place to ensure organisational survival. Despite the latter, organisational crises are often inefficiently managed which could be ascribed to the lack of managing crises strategically (Kash & Darling 1998:180). This study explores the lack of strategic crisis communication processes within the financial industry specifically, to ensure effective crisis communication with the media as stakeholder group, through the proposition of an integrated crisis communication framework, which focuses on: · Combining integrated communication (IC) literature with Grunig’s theory of communication excellence to build sustainable media relationships through two-way communication; and · Implementing a crisis communication process that has proactive, reactive and post-evaluative crisis communication stages, thereby moving away from crisis communication as a predominant reactive function. / Communication Sciences / M.A. (Communication) Two-way communication Integrated communication Strategic management Crisis communication Excellence theory Stakeholder relationship building Communication Strategy Strategic communication Crisis management Stakeholder 658.4056 Mass media and business -- South Africa
