Objective Risks can be identified, evaluated, mitigated, and evaluated, but the underlying uncertainty remains elusive. Risk is present across industries and sectors (private, public, and non-profit). As a result, organizations and governments worldwide are currently experiencing higher levels of risk. At the other end of the spectrum from risk, contingency is the buffer against expected risk and uncertainty. The objective of this book enhancement project is to let the authors revisit their prior peer-reviewed and published work and revise it in the context of the current post-covid pandemic scenario. This project provides an interdisciplinary approach to risk and contingency management, encouraging researchers and practitioners to provide best practices and a look into the future of this field. Target Audience This book examines the impact of a crisis, such as the pandemic that has tested organizations' risk and contingency management plans. While preparing these plans, most organizations did not prepare for a situation, such as the pandemic. Organizations had to revisit their contingency and risk management plans and strategies as the pandemic resulted in unprecedented crises.
