Does it seem like “once in a lifetime” events are occurring more often?
From Hurricane Katrina to the Earthquake in Haiti, the importance of being
prepared for extreme situations is evident, even if the likelihood is very
slim. Wharton Management
Professor Michael Useem recently co-edited a
book entitled Learning from Catastrophes which discusses the
strategies for reaction and response during situations that we never thought
was possible.
Join the Wharton Club of Atlanta for a conference call with Professor
Useem on Friday, March 5th at Noon EST as he discusses his latest book
entitled Learning from Catastrophes.
