    The document discusses two potential organizational crises faced by companies: 1. Whether requiring certain physical attributes for jobs at places like Walmart could be discriminatory or illegal, as it may weed out people who are less physically able to perform the work. 2. Whether the Canadian government overreacted to discovering a single case of mad cow disease by not testing cows and instead taking a shortcut response for economic reasons.

    Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape


    Chapter 3: Sources of Organizational Crises
    1. With the Walmart crisis, is it really wrong to put that there are certain physical attributes to the job? It may weed out the people that are less than able to participate, but is it truly not legal? Why?

    2. I feel like the reaction to the ONE mad cow that they found in northern Alberta was a little extreme. Would they have been able to test the cows at least or was it too expensive? Did they simply take the short cut?
