Focus on Crisis Communication - New Insights
10.02.2011
The International Business Communication (IBC) unit at the Aalto University School of Economics organized the third IBC Evening Seminar on 10 February. This time the focus was on crisis communication, which was discussed both from the perspective of research and that of practice.
Professors Finn Frandsen and Winni Johansen from the ASB Centre for Corporate Communication at the Aarhus School of Business and Social Sciences, Aarhus University, discussed “New Insights for Crisis Management and Crisis Communication” and Minna Mars, IBC Doctoral Candidate and former Communications Director of KONE Oyj presented crisis communication cases: “Making sense of crisis – a practitioner’s perspective”.

The event attracted an audience of over 50 participants, both corporate communication practitioners and Aalto faculty & students. We were happy to see many IBC alumni in the active audience as well (see the pictures). The dialogue between communication research and communication practice continues.
