Implications of information flow priorities for interorganizational crisis management

The aim of this paper is to increase understanding about the implications of information flow priorities for interorganizational crisis management. The paper is based on the main results of a prior study that addressed the information requirements of high-level decision-making activities during a sudden crisis situation. The study identified priorities of retrieved and delivered information flows from the perspectives of information content and information update frequency needs. The results about the information priorities based on update frequency needs provide novel insights into information flow priorities for decision-making in crisis management. These results show the most effective information categories to prioritize for decision-making in the context of interorganizational crisis management.
