Abstract: The dynamics of crisis have not been well understood or explored in the different literatures affecting the firm. In this paper, a liquidity crisis or evidence that the firm has entered a sequence of events leading to such a situation is considered as indicating crisis. The paper uses case studies from small and entrepreneurial firms to explore the anatomy of crisis; it also demonstrates that the logic can be extended to large firms. Furthermore, the paper indicates how the focus of managers has a significant bearing on liquidity health, and that sustained resolution of a crisis can only be achieved by increasing a firm's market relevance, which increases its cash flow from operations.
