Updated: The Age/Entrepreneurship Myth

THE NEW CONSUMER’S COURT : CREATIVE COMMUNICATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY :
For many companies, managing a communication crisis is to have good communication. However, we must not confuse crisis management and crisis communication. A crisis is not similarly managed like communication as the communication does not manage a business. However, communication is certainly the best way to deal with a crisis.
