ADHOCISM IN CRISIS RESPONSE ARCHITECTURE: CASE STUDIES AND LESSONS LEARNED

The current review critically evaluates the concept of adhocism in crisis response architecture. This involves revisiting historical precedents and thoroughly examining case studies and examples to understand their effectiveness and limitations. Analyzing factual cases such as Hurricane Katrina, the Nepal Earthquake, and the COVID-19 pandemic helps the review illustrate the points on which smart strategies are based. Lessons learned encompass sustainability and long-term planning, coordination and communication, resourcefulness and innovation, as well as adaptability and flexibility in crisis response. The review emphasizes integrating crisis-led actions into established procedures to enhance the resilience and adaptability of future crisis solutions. This article questions how adhocracy operates within the crisis response architecture and its role in crisis management. It investigates how adhocism's adaptable approach diverges from the inflexible frameworks of conventional crisis response systems and how it adapts to the complexity and uncertainty of crises. It emphasizes that while traditional models are effective in routine emergencies, they fail to manage complex or evolving crises. Adhocism emerges as a promising, flexible, and resilient approach to tackle such uncertainties. Therefore, this research aims to elucidate how this adaptable strategy functions and to assess its role within the crisis response system. In conclusion, the article highlights the limitations of traditional approaches and the flexibility of adhocism. It suggests embracing a more flexible, collaborative approach and integrating adhocism into standard practices for a more resilient crisis response system in the future.
