This subject is designed to provide students with an overview of the three key domains of organisational resilience - crisis management, business continuity management and protective security. Any organisation that looks to manage business risk needs to have a focus on these domains of expertise and they have arguably never been more important. Risks in these areas are cascading, merging and being managed more frequently. Security risks such as those influenced by geopolitical issues and cyber-security challenges are becoming more prominent. The subject describes the theoretical and conceptual basis for the key pillars , but also has a strong practical component. Students will learn the basic structures and applications of crisis management teams during a crisis, develop a business impact assessment and a threat and vulnerability assessment (for a protective security situation). The learning assessments are focused around the application of these skills in maritime and logistics organisations, but can be applied to any modern organisation that faces an array of enterprise risk.
- Responding to and Recovering From An Organisational Crisis (35%)

Single subject FAQs
Single subjects are the individual components that make up a degree. With Open Universities Australia, you’re able to study many of them as stand-alone subjects, including postgraduate single subjects, without having to commit to a degree.
Each of your subjects will be held over the course of a study term, and they’ll usually require 10 to 12 hours of study each week. Subjects are identified by a title and a code, for example, Developmental Psychology, PSY20007.
First, find the degree that you would like to study on our website.
If that degree allows entry via undergraduate subjects, there will be information about this under the Entry Requirements section. You will find a list of 2-4 open enrolment subjects you need to successfully complete to qualify for admission into that qualification.
Once you pass those subjects, you will satisfy the academic requirements for the degree, and you can apply for entry.
