Abstract
Though the notion of the changes that crises bring about are understood, their mechanism, characteristics, effects and underlying motivators are less so, and vary across the organizational, industry and market typology. Of course, it also depends on the nature of the crisis, its severity, its length, its timeframe, its geographic spread and other factors. This chapter, thus, brings together incorporate scientific works (chapters) on contextual transformations and reciprocal organizational adaptations that will help delineate the above forces and factors, as well as their interrelationship in differing settings.
