decolonizing, and Indigenous methodology and how it is related to your research area.

In the area of human resource growth, crisis management is a recent research subject (HRD).

The first attempt by HRD researchers to examine the function of HRD in corporate crisis

management was published in a current topic of Advances in Developing Human Resources. A

collection of seven articles in this special issue demonstrated what various HRD interventions in

learning, efficiency, and change could be used to help organizations detect, prevent, deal with,

and learn from crisis events. Building on those efforts and broadening the research context

outside business organizations, this article examines one high-impact crisis event in the United

States.

Please specify which Thesis/dissertation you have identified; if possible, please attach the

thesis/dissertation and mention which institutional repository it is from.

I selected the crisis of higher education at Virginia Tech, and the thesis describes the research

study in the institute of Virginia tech. The thesis is about crisis management in education. The

shootings on the premises of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (US) in 2007 are

the subject of this report. The authors explore one higher education institution's real-life

encounter with crises and the resulting change management using the single case study analysis

approach and Mitroff's crisis management paradigm as the methodological and theoretical

context. The authors discuss the consequences of this crisis experience for HRD practice,

especially in educational institutions and businesses that may face the same or related nature

crises.

Questions to guide your review: ·

How would you describe the methodology used by the author?

This research used a single case template to address how Virginia Tech engaged in the crisis

response phase. When a researcher wants to investigate a bounded scheme, the case study is the

chosen analysis approach. The researcher will be able to compile "lessons learned" from this

environment to inform related contexts.

The Virginia Tech campus shootings of 2007 were chosen as the case study because of their

profound effects on the campus and their exposure to the need for a viable crisis response

program on campus. To date, the Virginia Tech massacres are the worst single-gunman shooting

spree in US history, on or off school campus, with 32 students and staff members killed. The

crisis attracted widespread foreign media attention and harsh criticism of US and state laws from

critics worldwide. The incident prompted heated discussion over gun violence, gun regulations,

and shortcomings in the United States' framework for addressing mental health disorders, the

perpetrator's state of mind, college administrators' liability, and privacy laws, among other

topics.

Why was it essential for the author to use this methodology?

The 2007 Virginia Tech campus shootings were chosen as the case study because of their

dramatic effects on the campus and their exposure to the need for a viable crisis response

program on campus.

When a researcher wants to investigate a bounded scheme, a case study in the form of choice.

The case study response is fundamental to present a viable solution to the crisis in Virginia tech.

The evolution of framework approach methodology has enabled us to assign its modern

fundamental principles: consistency, hierarchy, systemic properties, and diversity.

What did you learn from or appreciate about the author's work?

We articulated a systemic solution to crisis management and reform bloated universities after

clarifying fundamental notions commonly employed of university management. According to the

paper, a systemic approach to university crisis management is focused on creating and executing

collaborative processes at the macro, meso, and micro levels to achieve desired indicator values

to ensure a university's long-term growth.

The state can be involved in various procedures, including oversight, recovery, external

administration, reorganization, and liquidation of the university as a separate entity. In particular,

the dispersion of crisis management tasks across management levels and developing integrated

crisis management systems for universities enable developing a portfolio of crisis management

systems, which includes standard models for the most likely inefficiency circumstances. Models

that differ based on the degree of inefficiency, conditions that contributed to the decline in

operation, the stage of growth of a university, and the likelihood of pursuing procedures on its

own with the state's help.

What about this work informs your thinking about research?

The work effectively manifests educational crisis management. The author chooses the case

study in methodlogy to resolve crises to some extent.

We ought to study other cases to enhance our knowledge of school crisis-management practices.

To recognize "Common Approaches" in crisis management, we can in particular urge scholars to

explore success stories. Studies which aim to recognise the roles of HRD in crisis management in

higher education must also be encouraged, and diverse types of study must be used in future
research. For instance, surveying and many approaches to case studies may generalize and

replicate larger samples.

This essay analyses the individual situation and crucial incidents of the Virginia Tech shooting

using Mitroff's (2005) crisis management model. This model helped us differentiate how crises

shift from many similar indications to an open crisis case and develop a clear picture of how

essential learning experiences may lead to significant improvements in medical reporting

policies, weapons policy, and an emergency warning process both at home and abroad.
