Volkswagen Emission Crisis : Managing Stakeholder Relations on the Web

2016

Organizations establish their own profiles at social media sites to publish pertinent information to customers and other stakeholders. During a long and severe crisis, multiple issues may emerge in media interaction. Positive responses and prompt interaction from the official account of e.g. a car manufacturer creates clarity and reduces anxiety among stakeholders. This research targets the Volkswagen 2015 emission scandal that became public on Sept. 18, 2015. We report its main phases over time based on public web information. To better understand the online interaction and reactions of the company, we scrutinized what information was published on VW’s official web sites, Facebook, and Twi…

The hyperspectral and smartphone technology in CBRNE countermeasures and defence

2016

Caused by industrial and military use as well as other sources of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) materials, the global threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) remains in spite of such weapons being internationally prohibited. With these materials, industrial and transportation accidents are likely in all countries and can also be triggered by natural disasters, such as in Fukushima in 2011. In addition, governments cannot fully control the manufacturing and usage of WMDs, as extreme terrorists have access to as well as the knowledge and motivation to use such materials. Due to multiple large-scale risks, the countering of CBRNE threats requ…

Territorial capital and the economic crisis: The role of spatial effects

2013

Activity-geospatial approach forms methodological basis of the concept of geospatial self-organization of a society as new theoretical paradigm of societal geography (SG) with next main principles: a) Self-organization of society and its key subsystems (economical, social, political, spiritual) in specifically localised natural and societal qualities of geospace (Earth's surface space) forms the process of geospatial self-organization of a society and its results - geospatial interests, processes, systems, structures as societal-geospatial phenomena of different scale (global, regional, local, etc.). So societal processes acquire specific geospatial shapes that combine a geospatial (geograp…

Il capitale territoriale e la crisi: un'analisi provinciale per l'Italia Centro-Meridionale

2014

Le analisi sugli effetti della crisi si sono prevalentemente incentrate su una dimensione nazionale e internazionale. Nel presente lavoro si focalizza l’attenzione sul capitale territoriale allo scopo di identificare gli elementi territoriali che possono essere considerati strategici per le capacità di resilienza e recupero dalla recessione a livello regionale e sub-regionale. A tal fine si utilizzerà un vasto dataset sull’Italia centro-meridionale con l’intento di misurare le relazioni empiriche tra capitale territoriale e variazione delle performance a livello provinciale, allo scopo di verificare come la dotazione di capitale territoriale possa avere influito su reazioni differenziate e,…

La violencia terrorista como situación de crisis y su tratamiento a través de los medios de comunicación

2009

En este capítulo vamos a abordar una revisión de la caracterología del terrorismo como integrante fundamental, y cada vez más relevante, de los modelos de comunicación de riesgo, y, más específicamente, comunicación de crisis, desarrollados tanto por las instituciones como por los medios de comunicación. El estudio, dividido en tres apartados, esbozará, en primer lugar, una tipología de las distintas formas de terrorismo que nos servirá como preludio de la subsiguiente reflexión sobre los objetivos que se persiguen mediante estos actos violentos. A continuación, nos centraremos en el difícil papel que desempeñan los medios de comunicación social ante el tratamiento informativo de lo relacio…

The Crisis on the Labor Market in Romania

2007

In the last 17 years the labor market in Romania has suffered deep changes. We can found two distinct stages regarding the evolutions on the labor market in Romania after 1989. The first stage, which includes the period 1990 – 2003, is defined as a period of deep restructurations of the Romanian economy. It is characterized as a period of relatively high unemployment and the undertaken actions were directed mainly at limiting the unemployment and its harmful effects on the society. We consider that after 2005 the employment evolution heads towards a new crisis on the labor market, but its cause is not a high unemployment, but rather an offer dropping on the labor market. The causes and the …

Generations of Stateless People: Many Years of The Rohingya’s Personal Security at Risk and the Support of the EU

2021

The Rohingya is an ethnic-religious Muslim minority that has struggled with serious human rights violations for decades. Indian migration to Burma, stimulated by British colonial rule, is pointed to as the main cause of the Muslim-Buddhist conflict. Although Indians in Burma currently constitute a fraction of the population (2.3%), resentment remained. The aim of the article is to analyze the threats to many aspects of the personal security of the Rohingya population. It is one of the most populous groups of stateless persons in the world; moreover, since the 1960s, this ethnic group has experienced oppression on a huge scale: from restrictions related to work and movement as well as diffic…

Comparing Innovation and Social Media Strategies in Scandinavian and US Newspapers

2018

The article focuses on innovation and social media strategies in newspaper companies in the US and three Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway and Denmark). Many previous studies have focused on the state of journalism and media industry in single countries, although media have distinct features in different countries. Through the comparative setting, it is possible to examine the differences in media innovation strategies and study what factors affect innovation in media production, business models, sources of funding, and social media strategies. The qualitative part of the paper consists of semi-structured in-depth interviews (N = 65) with media managers and experts, which were carried …

Relacje Unia Europejska – Turcja wobec kryzysu migracyjnego. Makiaweliczne plany czy wyraz bezsilności?

2015

W artykule omówiono kwestię relacji Unii Europejskiej, w szczególności Niemiec, z Turcją w świetle kryzysu migracyjnego, czyli politykę ustępstw i „appeasementu”, jaką oba wymienione podmioty wdrożyły względem państwa nad Bosforem, licząc na jego pomoc w zatrzymaniu fal uchodźców. Problem jest bardzo złożony, mało poruszany w Polsce, lecz budzi ogromne kontrowersje za granicą, przede wszystkim w Niemczech. Aktualna polityka kanclerz Angeli Merkel wobec Turcji oraz niechęć do radykalnej zmiany stanowiska względem uchodźców fatalnie wpływa na jej pozycję w kraju oraz Niemiec poza granicami, a ponadto na postrzeganie w świecie całej Unii Europejskiej. Próba rozwiązania problemu migracyjnego rę…
