Social networks: between managing and triggering crises
An empirical analysis of the social media impact during the COVID‐19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine
This research highlights the importance of social media in crises management and identifies it as a tool for solving crises but also as a possible crisis trigger if not used correctly.
