Declining or Waning
- Traditional Risk Assessment Models:
There appears to be a waning interest in conventional risk assessment approaches, as newer, more dynamic and integrated frameworks gain traction. - Focus on Economic Impacts Alone:
While economic impacts of crises have been a significant focus, there is a noticeable shift towards more holistic approaches that incorporate social and psychological dimensions. - Single-Discipline Approaches:
Research grounded solely in one discipline (e.g., solely public health or business) is less prevalent as interdisciplinary studies become more favored. - Historical Case Studies:
There is a decline in the publication of historical case studies, as contemporary and real-time analyses of crises, particularly those related to recent global events, take precedence. - Static Preparedness Strategies:
Research that emphasizes static preparedness strategies without considering adaptive and evolving frameworks is becoming less common.
