ABSTRACT

Crisis management has been mainly handled in the perspective of journalism and public administration. However there has not been reviewed how crisis management research is characterized in spite of 30 years of study in the field. This study looked into theses published in the past 10 years, 2001~2010 in order to understand academic and practical trends. The features resulting from the research can be mentioned as below. Firstly, crisis management theses are more noticeable in specialized graduate schools rather than doctor’s degrees and mater’s degrees in general graduate schools. It means that participated researchers doing theoretical study with hands on experience have been increasing recently. This result shows well that there are lots of interests in crisis management and its practical application in each structure of the society. Secondly, quantitative study with statistical methods such as a survey, interview of experts, experimental research in crisis management is being on the increase. In the early stage of crisis management, qualitative study such as a content analysis, documentary research and case study was mostly carried out. On the other hand, systematic analysis with qualitative study and scientific research method has been recently done in this field. It certainly leads to bring a development of the crisis management research. Thirdly, the field of crisis management is very limited today. Journalism focuses on countermeasures on public, while public administration deals with crisis management system. However it is evident that crisis management is not still positioned as an independent study. Therefore, a fundamental basis of the diverse studies should be settled.
