In the realities of modern economy even the best-managed company is not able to avoid threats and bad decisions, that can cause a crisis. Each crisis situation, that a company experiences, generates not only measurable economic costs, but also more difficult to assess and measure costs of a deteriorated reputation. These costs are the result of infringement of interests or failing to satisfy different stakeholders expectations. The aim of this article is an attempt to identify the cost of reputation deterioration in the context of the various interests of stakeholders groups. In the first part, the paper presents the effects of good and bad reputation, the reputation "contamination" path in a crisis situation and a cost analysis caused by it. The second part is empirical, where the identification of crisis situations measurable costs and reputation deterioration based on the examples of three selected companies was performed.

The monotheistic confession in Isa 40–48 is best understood against the historical context of Israel’s political and religious crisis situation in the final years of Neo-Babylonian rule. According to Deutero-Isaiah, Yhwh is unique and incomparable because he alone truly predicts the “future” (Isa 41:22–29)—currently the triumph of Cyrus—which will lead to Israel’s liberation from Babylonian captivity (Isa 45). This prediction is directed against the Babylonian deities’ claim to possess the power of destiny and the future, predominantly against Bel-Marduk, to whom both Nabonidus and his opponents appeal in their various political assertions regarding Cyrus. According to the Babylonian conviction, Bel-Marduk has the universal divine power, who, on the one hand, directs the course of the stars and thus determines the astral omens and, on the other hand, directs the course of history (cf. Cyrus Cylinder). As an antithesis, however, Deutero-Isaiah proclaims Yhwh as the sovereign divine creator and leader of the courses of the stars in heaven as well as the course of history on earth (Isa 45:12–13). Moreover, the conflict between Nabonidus and the Marduk priesthood over the question of the highest divine power (Sîn versus Marduk) may have had a kind of “catalytic” function in Deutero-Isaiah’s formulation of the monotheistic confession.

This chapter offers a new version of popular “insurance” models of judicial independence, in which the competitiveness of the electoral arena induces leaders to prefer more independent courts, as a means of offering policy and personal security if they lose power. That is, paying the “premium” of increased constraints on behavior imposed by independent courts now for the insurance of protection in the future if out of office. The crux of the argument is that the risks associated with losing power in autocratic regimes are greater than in democracies, and therefore competition should be more salient in dictatorships than democracies. The stakes are higher because autocratic power means access to wealth and state resources in a way rarely equaled in democratic regimes, and more importantly the likelihood of being punished after leaving office is greater for former autocrats. Judiciaries exercising greater independence, however, can minimize the risks of being a former leader, and the chapter leverages this finding to develop an expected utility model, the empirical implication of which is higher salience of competition—when present—in autocracies. Unlike previous theories of how competition affects independence, this model integrates both the likelihood of losing office and the risks associated with such an outcome, and thus allows us to examine the phenomena across the democracy/dictatorship divide.

This study discusses the holding of an "event" which is an opportunity to overcome the situation of unsustainability tourism in Pantai Kelapa Patimban, Subang. Furthermore, this study explains the importance of coordination with various interested parties in organizing "events". Descriptive studies are used to examine more in depth the situation of the Patimban Coconut Coast which is in a crisis situation after the mega International Port development project began in 2015. The results of the study in the discussion section led to a number of interesting findings, including the fact that the "event" must consider many things and is not as simple as determining the "event" in what field, who is the event host, and who is the target participant / visitor. There are many factors that must be considered to support the smooth implementation of "events" starting from the stage of pre-preparation (event designing), preparation (event preparation), the implementation (event execution), and evaluation (event evaluation). These factors can be learned from other disciplines.The author hopes that through this writing, the author can provide ideas or ideas to bring back the Coconut Patimban Beach to sustainability tourism in the future.

This chapter discusses intangibles not transferable by reason of public policy. In the case of certain sums receivable in the future, reasons of public policy preclude their assignment. The cases in this area tend to have a Dickensian feel to them—such as the rule that no effectual assignment can be made of the salaries or pensions of public officers payable to them for the purpose of keeping the dignity of their office or to ensure the due discharge of their duties—but the same sort of policy underlies the current statutory prohibitions on the assignment of social security benefits and pay in respect of a person's service in Her Majesty's military forces.

Crisis situations can be fully understood only by considering the person-in-crisis situation as an organic whole. By viewing the crisis from as many perspectives as possible, the practitioner can individualize each particular client system while still focusing on the significant aspects of the event causing the crisis.

The issues related to crisis management can be considered taking a multidimensional perspective. It is a set of various actions, which play the fundamental role in eliminating threats and counteracting them when they result in crisis situations. Crisis management can also be treated as a system designed to ensure the consistent and transparent functioning of numerous elements and institutions, often forming complex systems and subsystems that interact between each other to achieve the basic objective of protecting the population. Crisis management is understood as a response to a crisis situation characterized by strictly defined parameters, which provide the basis for devising relevant activities. This approach is adopted in the response phase of crisis management.
