Crisis can originate from which sources?

Crisis can originate from which sources?

• A. Both internal and external
• B. Internal
• C. External
• D. Regulatory bodies

Answer: (A)

Crises can originate from inside the organization or from outside it. Internally, issues like a product defect, leadership missteps, safety failures, or internal communications that go wrong can trigger a crisis. Externally, events such as natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, regulatory actions, or a sudden surge of social media backlash can spark a crisis as well. Because both sources can lead to rapid reputational damage and demand urgent, coordinated response, the best answer recognizes that crises come from either internal or external origins. Limiting the view to regulatory bodies, for example, only covers a subset of external triggers and misses many other potential crises. The key idea for crisis planning is to prepare for and monitor signals from both inside the organization and the wider environment.
