| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed at identifying the impact of strategic flexibility and its dimensions (Flexibility of Capacities, The Flexibility of Resources, The Flexibility of Information, and The Flexibility of Coordination) on crisis management and its dimensions (Detection of Early Signals, Preparedness and Prevention, Damage Containment, Activity Recovery, Learning), and having E-Readiness as the moderating variable which was measured through the following dimensions (ICT Infrastructure, Human Resources, Management Requirements and Physical Capabilities) and testing the impact of strategic flexibility on Crisis management in the Kingdom of Bahrain through the interaction effect of the electronic readiness to find whether it improve that impact. The Methodology used as a structural survey. The study was done on a sample of (376) employees working in 14 government authorities located in the Kingdom of Bahrain. These government entities were established to deal with critical aspects of the life of the citizens of Bahrain. Entities were given a particular arrangement which is different from other traditional governments Ministries and departments. These special arrangements were expected to give them a kind of flexibility over other government entities. Government authorities in the Kingdom of Bahrain were the appropriate environment to test the impact of Strategic flexibility on crisis management. The study found a strong positive impact of Strategic flexibility on Crisis Management, and each dimension individually also has a substantial impact on Crisis management. E-readiness intersection impact was not proved but the study found that two dimensions of E-readiness which are Human resources and physical capabilities enhance the relationship between Strategic Flexibility and crisis management. | en_US |

A crisis is a type of organizational phenomenon. Existing in human society, the organization is closely connected with society in one orientation. In another orientation, the organization needs to face and fix the crisis through crisis management. Therefore, the study of organizational crisis management should be based on and focus on the organizational and societal levels. The following Dual-Concentric Circles (Figure 1.1) illustrate the theoretical framework of this book.

Institute for Crisis, Emergency, and Risk Management
Crisis, Emergency and Risk Management (CERM) as a research and academic focus began in 1994 with the establishment of the GW Institute for Crisis, Disaster and Risk Management (ICDRM).
The CERM graduate education program began in 1998. It encompasses the research and professional practice areas that are commonly described as Emergency Management, Crisis or Business Crisis Management, Business Continuity, Continuity of Operations, Safety and Security, Disaster Response and similar disciplines.
The GW CERM program is one of the oldest in existence, established by experienced professionals with strong academic backgrounds in emergency management and crisis management, systems development, systems operation, and assessment/improvement. It is the only engineering-based emergency management program in the US. While no prior engineering education is required, students graduate with a Master of Science (MS) recognized as an engineering degree, reflecting the disciplined approach to management detail required by technical organizations. This is, in fact, the focus of “Engineering Management” as a professional discipline.
Graduates are prepared for challenging careers in managing technical organizations, with specific expertise for managing risk for both an organization itself and the organization’s mission related to crises and emergencies. This expertise covers risk analysis, risk-informed decision making, managing a program that reduces risk during normal times (mitigation) and is fully ready to rapidly respond, control and recover if hazards or threats occur. Knowledge and skills are conveyed for managing in the emergency context of a dynamic, high-stakes uncertain situation, along with the expertise needed for addressing both a wide range of hazard types and the varied operation within governmental, private sector for-profit and not-for-profits organizations and emergency response teams.
The remarkable range of our alumni’s careers demonstrate that the management knowledge and skills acquired in this program are applicable across this wide range of opportunities.
Research reports associated with ICDRM's mission are currently being posted; stay tuned for more.

History of Maykop
Maykop is named after the Maykop culture of the early Bronze Age, and this was after the discovery of a royal burial site in 1897. In 1857, the Russian military Fort was built in the area where the city is located. Oil deposits and natural gas were discovered near the City of Maykop in 1911, and in 1936 Maykop, together with the surrounding area, were merged to create the autonomous oblast of Adyghe and effectively becoming the administrative center for the autonomous region. In 1942, the city of Maykop was occupied by the unified army of Nazi Germany (Wehrmacht) without any resistance because of the operation of Germany ’s Brandenburger commandos. However, in January 1943 the city was liberated by the Red Army. The city has been the capital of Adygea republic in the Russian Federation since 1991.

There is a local specialty of a flower which is cultivated for its scent that belongs to the lavender and the Crimean Rose. Floodplains along the Kuban River are marshy, and there are approximately 8,000 hectares which have been claimed for market gardening. The main industry in the Republic is primarily processing of farm products, and there are oil and natural gas which is extracted near the Maykop. Similarly, timber is another major product particularly in the Southern part of the Republic.

History of the Adygea Republic
The territory of Adygea has been inhabited since ancient times. Abadzehskaya Paleolithic site is located in Maykop district. Also there are a lot of archaeological sites of Bronze and Iron Ages. Maykop archaeological culture is well known.
A lot of unique items were found during the excavation of the hills near the village of Ulyap in Krasnogvardeysky district. Most of the precious items excavated while Adygea was part of Krasnodar krai and known as “Scythian gold” or “Kuban gold” can be found in museums outside of Adygea.
The indigenous Adyg population’s ancestors are considered to be ancient Meots, Sinds, Aheys, Zikhs, Kasogs, and Kerkets residing in the region. As a result of the Caucasian wars (1763-1864), the majority of the Adygs (Circassians) were exiled to the Ottoman Empire. The rest of the Adygs were settled in the lowlands, on the left bank of the Kuban River.
More Historical Facts…
Adygea was formed on July 27, 1922 as Cherkesskaya (Adygeyskaya) Autonomous Oblast (province) with the center in Krasnodar. From August 24, 1922 till August 13, 1928, it was Adygeyskaya (Cherkesskaya) Autonomous Oblast, and then Adygeyskaya Autonomous Oblast.
From August 2, 1924 till December 28, 1934, it was part of the North Caucasian krai, then, till September 13, 1937, part of Azov-Chernomorsky krai and finally - part of Krasnodar krai.
April 10, 1936, Maykop became the capital of the region. April 28, 1962, Tulsky (now Maikopsky) district of Krasnodar krai was joined to the region. October 5, 1990, Adygeyskaya Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was declared. Since 1992, it is the Republic of Adygea.
In December 1991 - January 1992, deputies of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Adygea were elected. It was the first Parliament in the history of Adygea. In 1993, it was reformed into Legislative Assembly (Khase) and, in 1995, - into State Council - Khase. The Constitution of the Republic of Adygea was adopted by Legislative Assembly - Khase on March 10, 1995.
