After evaluating Skloot's claim in paragraph four on page one hundred thirty, I as well do believe that Southam probably would have continued to inject patients without their permission if it wasn't for the arrangement he made with Emanuel Mandel. Mandel, Southam, and the staff at the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital(all but three) were going to inject the patients without telling them they contained cancer cells. This is the start of proving that Southam would've still injected patients without their permission because when he had the opportunity he was going to make the staff at the hospital do his research by injecting the patients for him so he wouldn't get in trouble because they weren't necessarily his patients.

A macroeconomic shock came in the form of the Russian Financial Crisis (RFC). This preceded the Global Financial Crisis. As a result of the RFC, Pibrex’s sales slipped even further and management was now fully involved in crisis management with the ultimate goal being survival. Whereas in the past Pibrex had relied on a decentralized governance structure, on this occasion, Pibrex formed a “steering committee” to direct strategy in its Russian operations.

After the crisis emerged, the company needs to establish a crisis communication team first. The team must consist of directors from various departments and high-level executives, especially CEO and crisis management experts. In this team, it is crucial to have a leader who could mobilize resources, make a decision and be responsible for all decisions. Everyone in the team is responsible for a unique issue.

Strategy formulation has been acknowledged as one of the most crucial factors of ensuring the long-term growth of the business. However, the manner in which strategy is formulated, and most importantly, the nature of the strategy chosen for the company determines its future position in the marketplace (Grant, 2005).

The Timken Company – a leader in the bearing industry, is considering acquiring the Torrington Company.

The company's topmost executives instead chose to adopt the 'wait and see' stance.

In 1997, Apple Company, which almost reached bankruptcy ousted its that time CEO, Gil Amelio, where Steve Jobs replaced him and declared himself interim CEO. Apple that time is experiencing a disruptive change, a change that is radical and immediately happening, in other words unexpected. However, they were able to response to it quickly and prevented the company to hit the very bottom by bringing back Steve Jobs. Jobs had so much idea with him, which the company needed most at that time (Time, 2016).
