##### Crisis Management Planning Series
# \[CM\] \[Scenario\] \[5\] The Crisis Resulting from Organisation Misdeeds
Crises of organisational misdeeds arise when management takes certain decisions knowing the harmful consequences of the same towards the stakeholders and external parties.

#### Crisis Scenario: Organisational Misdeed
[](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/a4f5fe15-8ede-405f-b7e3-90485012259e)Crises of organisational misdeeds arise when management makes certain decisions, knowing the harmful consequences.
In such cases, superiors overlook the long-term consequences of strategies and implement them for immediate results. This will adversely affect the stakeholders and external parties (or interested parties).
Examples of organisational crises can be further classified into the following three types. They are
##### 
1. Skew management value
2. Deception
3. Management misconduct
##### 1. Skewed Management Values
The crisis of Skewed Management Values arises when management prioritises short-term growth over broader issues.
##### 2. Deception
Organisations face a crisis of deception when management intentionally alters data and information. For example:
- Management makes fake promises and wrong commitments to the customers
- Communicating false information about the organisation and products will lead to a crisis of deception
##### 3. Management Misconduct
Organisations face the crisis of management misconduct when management indulges in deliberate acts of illegality. For example:
- Accepting bribes
- Leaking or passing on confidential information

##### Reflection as a BCM and CM Practitioner
[](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/73bfa36d-9fb7-444e-8e9c-f33b580e112b)As discussed in "What Crisis or Crisis Scenario Should I Be Planning For My Organisation?", you may wonder whether this type of crisis may not be part of your job scope. Click the right icon to read more
The key in this discussion is to identify the types of crisis scenarios and to raise them with the right interested parties for responsible professionals who have recognised the potential for a crisis, so that they can implement the crisis response for this specific crisis scenario.
