English term

crisis management approach

English to Arabic Bus/Financial Management Customs
“(Low control, low facilitation) depicts the approach of an administration which exercises little control and achieves equally little in the way of facilitation. In creating this bureaucratic mess, they no doubt feature prominently in the annual reports of Government auditors. This crisis management approach is one which benefits neither government nor the business community.”

"CRISIS" here describes the management attitude and behavior rather than being the subject of Management. إدارة الأزمات , here, is not valid.

I consider using طريقة الإدارة الكارثية
Any other suggestions?

Doaa El Seify May 3, 2008:
I have the same opinion as Mr. Mohsin!
Mohsin Alabdali May 3, 2008:
Khalid, with all due respect I think your understanding of the phrase is not validated by the context you had provided. I read the link you have given and it does not validate your understanding. Please read the link I've provided in the note to my answe
Khalid Nasir (asker) May 3, 2008:
Please Mohsin and other colleagues
Look only to this link http://www.adb.org/Projects/TradeFacilitation/Documents/Mana... and provide me with your answer.

Doaa can you read the above link and provide me with your note please?
Doaa El Seify May 3, 2008:
I think it's more simple than you can imagine and even more simple that all this long discussion!!
Khalid Nasir (asker) May 3, 2008:
As Abdelmonem noted "The approach "Low Control, Low Facilitation" is just the weakest approach of 4 "mentioned in the above link” and the less capable approach" so the writer described it as a crisis approach. The writer may have made a mistake in choosing an established term “crisis management” to indicate a different meaning or sense, so I still not able to take it asطريقة/ اسلوب إدارة الأزمات أو الأزمة
Nadia Ayoub May 3, 2008:
I meant طريقة أو اسلوب
Nadia Ayoub May 3, 2008:
I would alternate the use of "'طريقة أسلوب إدارة الأزمات" and "أزمة الإدارة" as one leads to the other, and have come to mean pretty much the same.
Khalid Nasir (asker) May 3, 2008:
Nadia, it is close in meaning but the Management is a noun and crisis is an adjective or modifier or whatever and I want to describe the Management as being a crisis and having crises.

مرتاح الضمير وقرير العين طبعا

the link which was provided by Abdelmonem, Can any one confirm "وهو مرتاح الضمير وقرين العين"
that crisis managemnt in this link means إدارة الأزمات and if not what is the the other option?
i will consider all notes that will be added to your answers and i will judge the final note of each answers
thanks abdelmonem for the link
Abdelmonem Samir May 3, 2008:
what do you say to the above, khaled?
Nadia Ayoub May 3, 2008:
I think Khaled that you can express your idea by saying أزمات الإدارة
Abdelmonem Samir May 3, 2008:
The tone of the text, which is supposed to be descriptive and unbiased, makes it difficult for us to gamble by saying the writer means "the approach itself is the crisis." This conforms more to a journalistic style of writing, not an objective one.
Doaa El Seify May 3, 2008:
هي حسب موقع وكيبيديا إدارة مخصصة لمواجهة الأزمات وليست إدارة متأزمة (وقد يفهم من كلمة متأزمة أنها متعثرة) وغير قادرة على إدارة ومواجهة الأزمات
Khalid Nasir (asker) May 3, 2008:
more text . Similarly, administrations in a state of total crisis management (i.e. zero facilitation, zero control) would essentially be adopting a compliance management strategy that is devoid of risk management.
However, any movement away from a state of total crisis management implies the existence of some form of risk management. For example, recognising that risk is the chance of something happening that will have an impact on organizational objectives, a regulatory strategy which achieves some degree of control, however small, essentially represents a method of treating potential non-compliance with regulatory requirements. Equally, a strategy which achieves some degree of facilitation essentially represents a method of treating the potential failure to facilitate trade.
Abdelmonem Samir May 3, 2008:
The approach "Low Control, Low Facilitation" is just the weakest approach of all and the less capabale of handling the crisis. I thinks this is what the context tries to say.
Doaa El Seify May 3, 2008:
وما هي الإدارة المتأزمة يا سيدي؟؟ لم أسمع من قبل عن شئ كهذا في أي مؤسسة ولكن سبق وسمعت عن إدارة مدربة جيداً لمواجهة الأزمات التي قد تمر بالمؤسسات في أي وقت !
Abdelmonem Samir May 3, 2008:
We should acknowledge that this approach and the other approach are merely attempts to avoid crises (or minimize the risk), which means even with the best approach, a crisis can happen. But the question is, what is the best way to deal with it?
Abdelmonem Samir May 3, 2008:
I may not say "it creates the crisis", but I can say, "it would MOST PROBABLY fail to solve the crisis, if there is one".
Khalid Nasir (asker) May 3, 2008:
Doaa thanks, but i am also not convinced by your answer which is almost as nadia's answer
Khalid Nasir (asker) May 3, 2008:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_management
shows the systematic attempt to avoid organizational crises while CRISIS MANAGEMENT in my text does not avoid crises but it creats. I am still not convinced by Nadia,Fathy, Awadh and Abdelmonem answers, I may use طريقة الإدارة المتأزمة
or alike.
Khalid Nasir (asker) May 3, 2008:
the Management is crisis itself and will not able to solve any crisis

I think it is valid

I think you are wrong about disregarding:
إدارة الأزمات

I found a document on the internet and I assume it is your context. When I read it, I found the overall context is 'risk management'. Then, the document lists different approaches for that, like "high control, low facilitation ..etc". As I'm reading thru the document, when I reached the point of crisis managament approach, I got the feeling it is another way of saying, 'risk management approach". That's it.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks for all of you. It was difficult for me to select which was the most helpful answer among 8 answers of yours. They were all correct and I appreciated your help, I preferred Yasser term and I might use it (Many Thanks Yasser) but however I selected Abdelmonem’s answer for another reason. I felt he succeeded to understand (very earlier than others) what I am facing exactly with the term and he directed me to the right answer. "

أسلوب محاولة تدبر الأزمة

إن أسلوب محاولة تدبر الأزمة لا يفيد الحكومة ولا مجتمع الأعمال

لماذ نصر على "‘إدارة" محاولة تدبر معناها التفكير ومعالجة الأزمة
والغير مفيد هو أسلوب المحاولة

إدارة الأزمات

I still think this is the correct answer, as now the focus is on Risk Management which aims at avoiding crises. Crisis Management has become obsolete as it is now considered a passive and negative approach.

the following link is to a document that gives Serco’s approach to Crisis Management

http://www.serco.com/Images/Approach to Crisis Management_tc...

The "approach" consists of defining what is a crisis, the company's response to the crisis in well defined procedures and trainig their people on how to handle a crisis situation.

The objective of a crisis managment approach is to minimise the collatral loss arising from confusion as to what to do in a crisis situation.

المقاربة المقتصرة على مواجهة الأزمات

It could be that the administration in question acts little and only at times of crisis ("low control").
Good luck
