management by crisis is another name for Hegelian Synthesis..a set of management protocols that allow changes to be introduced that would have no mandate if a proper management reign had presided, Hegelian Synthesis has been used for about 40 years around the world in what maybe termed 'rampant' rates..of course it is very much older than that as a practise that Google will tell you if you ask it.
