ABSTRACT

Considering that crisis management is not only the matter of information uncertainty and time pressure, but also decision making and strategies, a systemic approach would help analyze crisis management for infectious disease. During the MERS outbreak in 2015, the South Korean government prepared various measures to improve the infectious disease control system. This research aims to provide the organizational factors to avoid an infectious disease crisis by investigating the infectious disease management system in France. What is unique in France is that the central government undertakes the decision making process and the local authority collects the signals. In particular, ARS (Regional Agency of Health) plays a key role in preparing and responding in crisis. In addition to a systemic approach, we identified the importance of strategic elements for crisis avoidance, such as overcoming selfishness, securing flexibility and constructing the sense of the organization.
