Synopsis

Crisis Management in Industry: Cases for Discussion is a book aimed at students and professionals in industrial engineering that presents a compilation of practical cases focused on crisis management in organizational environments. Throughout its chapters, the book outlines various critical situations—some based on real events and others fictional—covering issues such as supply chain disruptions, outsourcing failures, organizational conflicts, operational disasters, and strategic challenges. Each case is structured with a descriptive narrative —including dialogues and business context— followed by guiding questions for group analysis and discussion.

The central goal of the work is to illustrate how crises can emerge within industrial operations and how their management requires a combination of technical and managerial skills. Taken together, the book emphasizes the importance of learning from past experiences and developing holistic, proactive approaches to face future crises, providing a valuable didactic tool for education in industrial management.
