In deze contextanalyse voor het onderzoeksproject ‘The Next Level @ Crisis via Crossmedia’ worden vier cases uitgewerkt: 1. Aardgasbevingen in Groningen 2. De vermissingszaak Ruben en Julian 3. Overval op juwelier in Deurne 4. De Eindhovense ‘kopschoppers’ De cases worden eerst apart doorgelicht op de volgende onderdelen: Kenmerken case; crisistype, contextfactoren Contextontwikkeling; kaders, frames Kwesties en sociale media; dilemma’s, geruchten Leerprocessen; leren van en leren in crises Vervolgens wordt voor elk van deze onderdelen geanalyseerd welke verschillen en overeenkomsten er zijn tussen de cases, en welke conclusies kunnen worden getrokken op basis van case-overstijgende inzichten.
Talk by members of executive hospital boards influences the organizational positioning of nurses. Talk is a relational leadership practice. Using a qualitative‐ interpretive design we organized focus group meetings wherein members of executive hospital boards (7), nurses (14), physicians (7), and managers (6), from 15 Dutch hospitals, discussed the organizational positioning of nursing during COVID crisis. We found that members of executive hospital boards consider the positioning of nursing in crisis a task of nurses themselves and not as a collective, interdependent, and/or specific board responsibility. Furthermore, members of executive hospital boards talk about the nursing profession as (1) more practical than strategic, (2) ambiguous in positioning, and (3) distinctive from the medical profession. Such talk seemingly contrasts with the notion of interdependence that highlights how actors depend on each other in interaction. Interdependence is central to collaboration in hospital crises. In this paper, therefore, we depart from the members of executive hospital boards as leader and “positioner,” and focus on talk— as a discursive leadership practice—to illuminate leadership and governance in hospitals in crisis, as social, interdependent processes.

Essay based on a Presentation to International Stakeholder Forum, Convened by the Board of Directors of the Fair Labor Association, Washington D.C. June 26, 2009. There is much concern about the current crisis. Indeed the fall in consumption in developed countries is steep, anything between 15 to 25% over the first months of 2009 in most countries. This is double the decline of sales in previous recessions. However to this cyclical crisis and concerns two new concerns are being added. The first new concern to fashion, mainly amongst retailers and brands, is related to their impact on manufacturing in developing countries and to the employment and social conditions of workers. The second concern new to fashion, which is broadly shared amongst industries, is that after the crisis more structural changes in consumption will happen.
