International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management (IJRAM), Vol. 17, No. 4, 2014

Abstract: This study explores crisis communications in UK higher education institutions between the institution and its students. Using a case study of British universities, data is presented from interviews with university business continuity managers and student focus groups. The paper provides insights into current business continuity management practice in the higher education sector, business continuity managers' attitudes to social media as a communication tool during the incident response phase, and students' declared communication preferences.
