Abstract:Crisis is a decisive situation in which calamitous consequence is predicted and the decision must be made. Administrative crisis management means the administrative behavior taken by administrative organizations to manage crises. The development process of crisis includes three periods, latent period, explosive period, consequent period. In different period, dissimilar strategies should be taken by administrative organizations. Crisis management impels administrative organizations to optimize structures and forms, to promote information communications and to improve institutionalization. Administrative organizations can be distinguished by institutionalization and expansibility as two forms: learning one or oblivious one.
