“…Once crisis is clearly defined and situated, it becomes 'instrumental' in the decisionmaking and yields a drastic course of action. The contextual change also gives decision makers a legitimized authority to increase the scope of responsibility and the span of control in crisis (Brinkerhoff & Crosby, 2002;Lai, 2010;Lai, He, Tan, & Phua, 2009). Those who favour the adoption of particular contextual change often strive to establish a sense of urgency in order to enhance the agility that significant action will be taken.…”

Despite the emphasis placed on agility in uncertain situations such as extreme events, no comparative data exist to look into the determinants that drive agility. For crisis response managers, the failure to develop agility threatens organizations' survival amid uncertainties. This paper investigates the development of agility and explains the emergence of agility against the fight of influenza A/H1N1 pandemics in Singapore and Taiwan in 2009. This paper further provides empirically grounded evidence to identify prerequisites for agility development in response to public health crises in East Asia.

“…An analysis of crises responses has indicated that over the past century there has been both an increase in the prevalence and impact of crises with trends suggesting that large‐scale crises will continue to increase in their severity (Lai et al. ; United Nations‐International Strategy for Disaster Reduction ). What is also evident is that the literature on crisis management has been characterised by ‘a strong orientation towards technical, managerial, and organisational studies which tend to be rational, positivistic, and designed for the practitioners of crisis management’ (Stark :2).…”

The frequency and severity of natural disasters has placed a clear emphasis on the role of governments in responding to these crises. During the past decade, disaster events have had a significant impact on the relevant communities as well as raising questions regarding the role of government and the bureaucratic coordination of planning and response processes. These events have placed a renewed focus on the ability of governments to plan, prepare, and respond in an effective way to crises. They have also tended to indicate that there remain serious challenges to government coordination and that crises create a unique series of challenges for the public sector. At the heart of understanding how governments respond to crises are notions of bureaucratic coordination. It has been suggested that joined-up or whole of government arrangements may provide an appropriate means in which to approach crisis management. As a result a number of key themes emerge including the nature of crisis management, role of leadership, understanding coordination, impact of organisational culture, and the interactions between individuals and institutions. This paper will consider these issues and provide a review of the relevant literature, to understand the synergies that exist in connected responses to crises.
