• Sommario/riassunto: Economic history interprets crises as cyclical events. However, we are currently experiencing an acceleration of these cycles. In 25 years (2000-2024), we have lived the Twin Towers Attack in 2001, the Financial Crash in 2008, the Covid-2019 pandemic, and current military crises in Ukraine and the Middle East. In the first edition of this book, the authors identified three decision-making patterns (short termism, centralization, and parochialism) characterizing Boardrooms decisions during the financial crash. In this revised and updated edition, the authors explore the main commonalities and differences of decision-making processes between the previous financial crisis and the current continuous crisis regime. The authors highlight how and where the organizational impact of short-termism, centralization and parochialism on Boards decision-making can prove detrimental. Alberto Lavín is Strategy Adjunct Professor for IE Business School.

In 2014, he published, together with Carmelo Mazza, “Boards under crisis: board action under pressure”. Carmelo Mazza holds a PhD in Business Economics from IESE Business School. His research interests focus on decision-making and on creative processes.
