Upfront: Coping With A Crisis
March 1, 2007
It's among a CFO's worst nightmares: a catastrophe that cripples one or more business units or company processes. Such an event can take a variety of forms -- a hurricane, an infrastructure collapse, a shift in regulatory mandates or armed conflict, for example. As serious as these occurrences sound, nearly 50 percent of top executives polled in a PricewaterhouseCoopers' Management Barometer survey say their organization has experienced one such event in the past three years.
"Today's business complexity increases the likelihood of an adverse risk event triggering failure," says Miles Everson, partner in PricewaterhouseCoopers' advisory practice in New York City. "Moreover, because large multinational operations are interconnected and can be concentrated in terms of geography or supply chain, the potential impact of a failure is multiplied, as compared to the situations businesses dealt with only 10 years go."
But the group that experienced a major adverse event seems to view the disruption as a bad news/good news story; almost three-fourths report that their organizations performed well during the catastrophe, recovering quickly and with minimal financial fallout.

Part of the Problem
Just how complex the system is, and how hard the regulations are to understand, is actually part of the problem.
I dont believe we need a system this complex to get the same benefits. A lot of fat needs to be trimmed.

Take an action
This is really a serious problem especially to the business industries. Companies should take an action on coping up with crisis. Maybe changing some of their financial process and etc. - Kyle Thomas Glasser
Depends how you define a crisis!
Should be prepared for different eventualities, however very different when dealing with self inflicted, like the financial crisis as opposed to natural disasters.

The most commonly sold types of patio sets are made of plastic, wood, aluminium, wicker, and wrought iron.
Wooden garden furniture can suffer through exposure to the elements and therefore needs to be periodically treated. Teak is a commonly used material for outdoor furniture. It naturally contains silica, which makes it resistant to fungal decay, many of the effects of water (such as rot, swelling and warping), as well as chemicals. It is also resistant to fire, acid and alkalis, and there are certain oils specifically for the treatment of teak to help it resist weather and the adverse effects of being outside.. http://www.gardenumbrellas.org
