Upcoming Free Seminar on Crisis Management

The general incorporated association, the Risk Communication Institute of Japan (RCIJ), led by President Haruko Ohsugi, will host an online event titled "2025 Early News Review: Analyzing Management Risks to Prepare For" on Friday, September 26, from 16:00 to 17:00 (JST). This seminar is designed for business leaders and those who wish to enhance their understanding of risk management strategies in communication.

Background and Social Significance

In the first half of 2025, a myriad of corporate crises made headlines, ranging from quality issues with food manufacturers to safety controversies involving pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies. Instances of harassment among celebrities and corporate executives, alongside misinformation spread via generative AI, added to the growing list of scandals. According to research, companies often see a decline in stock prices, averaging a drop of 6.5% to 9.5% within a month of a scandal's emergence. In more severe cases, stock values can plummet by as much as 24%. This data indicates the urgent need for businesses to prepare for potential risks.

The upcoming seminar aims to summarize these corporate crises and offer a comprehensive, multi-faceted analysis of their impact on organizations, considering current trends. Through concrete case studies, attendees will gain insights into the significant repercussions of these events, such as stock fluctuations, brand damage, and effects on hiring markets. Business leaders will find crucial guidance on the risks they must address proactively.

Moreover, the seminar will facilitate a closed, exclusive session for participants, providing practical insights and examples of crisis response strategies. The event will focus on actionable takeaways that can guide management discussions and decision-making.
