碩士 === 東海大學 === 行政管理暨政策學系 === 96 === Tackling the battlefield with an unloaded gun is no different than being a helpless target for bombardment. And the same can be said when confronting crisis management, as no crisis can be averted and turned around with the presence of a crisis management strategy but without the ability to implement it. In spite that the practical implementation sector in business administration and academic study has systematically profiled and studied crisis in public administration, and have devised many corresponding management measures and focus on crisis management. However, by observing a number of public crisis cases, the governmental organization tends to lack authorization flexibility, as hindered by many legal and regulatory confines, rendering it unable to manage the crisis as effectively and flexibly. In addition, when faced with a crisis, there is a high probability that it requires an coordinated effort among the governmental departments, or even relying on the cooperation of global and private strength, in order to effective resolve a crisis. Noteworthy, there seems to be a certain hindrance existed among the governmental department that prevents an effective cooperation, delay a crisis from being resolved at the onset of its occurrence, but also aggregates the crisis to expand that can only be resolved at the cost of a greater expenditure. As a matter of fact, devising a comprehensive and working public crisis response process calls for more than instilling a comprehensive crisis management strategy, but also a mutual support and cooperation among the central and local governmental departments, and the instilment of an interactive communication platform. In light of which, the thesis aims to examine how best approach from an inter-governmental cooperation mode to manage and implement the existing crisis management strategy, and to devise recommendations for an inter-governmental cooperation mode in support of future crisis management.
