Subject: Crises require the reworking of established and standardized procedures or the creation of new means as well as of organizations for carrying them out. The direction of response of groups and organizations is for certain aspects of emergent behaviour to be combined with elements of routinized organizational behaviour. This paper seeks to extend the explanation of these types of adaption by using existing organizational theory.
