This approach is based on a definition of the Great Disturbance as a three dimensions event: crisis dimension; conflict dimension; and catastrophe dimension. The conceptualization has led to a distinction between the Monologue; Dilogue; Trilogue; and Dialogue as four different modes of management. Beyond the definition of the Great Disturbance, the spirals of Failure, Isolation, and Revenge have been also defined. This paper is based on a unique integration of the Structuration Theory, Stakeholder Management, and System Thinking.
