POLS 6830 - Crisis Management and Conflict Resolution

Meets with PADMN 6830 and POLS 5830. Managing crises in public organizations is a vital aspect of public administration, whether the event causing the crisis is internal (sudden budget cut, labor strike, etc) or external (social upheaval, hurricane, earthquake, etc). This course teaches students about the skills and leadership necessary to meet diverse challenges, and to learn from the management or crises. Special focus is placed on managing and resolving inter-group conflict in public organizations.
