Historically, academicians and practitioners have developed various management methodologies and technologies to help business managers deal with challenges in their environments, yet many businesses fail. Thus, these challenges need to be researched closely to overcome business failure. Many of these challenges are external events in which firms must adapt and react. Getting the right adaptation and reaction to these external events depend on whether a firm continues a trend of success or failure. Many companies fail due to their inability to properly respond to crises, whether they be business or organizational crises. External Events and Crises That Impact Firms and Other Entities showcases the resulting impact of external events such as environmental or health crises on businesses and educational entities. It identifies the strategies businesses use to react to unexpected crises. Covering topics such as financial technology, worker support, and small and medium-sized enterprises, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for business leaders, practitioners, government officials, students and educators of higher education, libraries, researchers, and academicians.

This paper reviews the literature on financial crises focusing on three specific aspects. First, what are the main factors explaining financial crises? Since many theories on the sources of financial crises highlight the importance of sharp fluctuations in asset and credit markets, the paper briefly reviews theoretical and empirical studies on developments in these markets around financial crises. Second, what are the major types of financial crises? The paper focuses on the main theoretical and empirical explanations of four types of financial crises—currency crises, sudden stops, debt crises, and banking crises—and presents a survey of the literature that attempts to identify these episodes. Third, what are the real and financial sector implications of crises? The paper briefly reviews the short- and medium-run implications of crises for the real economy and financial sector. It concludes with a summary of the main lessons from the literature and future research directions.
