Abstract: This article presents a review of some literatures that have been instrumental in forming at times disparate scholarly thoughts on managerial and operational decision-making and behavior during extraordinary events into the nascent academic field known as crisis management studies. The article outlines some of the most influential literature streams, presents their main findings, reveals four significant knowledge gaps in the present literature, and calls for future crisis management research to direct attention to the organization as the principal level of analysis.
