The term 'neoliberalism' has since around 1980 become a quite widely used exhortation in some political and academic debates. Prolific employment of a term does not signify, however, that it is clearly defined. In this article it is suggested that while the concept itself has become an imprecise buzzword in much of the literature, it might still be given a more precise definition. If this is done, then the term could become a useful analytical device in order to describe some recent trends in economic thought and political theory, even if it would be an obvious overstatement to say that we live in a neoliberal age or a neoliberal world.

Crisis prevention instead of just crisis response necessitates moving responsibility from the operational to the executive level. The paper builds on a nonlinear model to explore how crisis management activities can be clustered together and integrated to optimize organizational effectiveness.

What seems to have been forgotten by history is the other "first" involved that day - the first cyclist plowed into by a car. For some reason that part didn't elicit much reaction from the press. "Monstrous Horseless Carriage New, Deadly Scourge of Streets," declared The New York Times the following day. The name [Henry Wells] became synonymous with the dangers of the horseless carriage - his name today pops up on any number of lists of history's important "firsts.
