Abstract:
Disaster Organizations, Technologies and Strategies (DOTS) is a collaborative research initiative between UCL School of Management and Tohoku University that examines organizations that address humanitarian crisis and disasters. The DOTS research report series explores innovative organizational initiatives in contexts of disasters, humanitarian crises, global food systems, and social challenges. Each DOTS research report examines one specific organization, outlines its strategic challenges, discusses human-technology interaction processes, and generalizes lessons learned for organizations in disaster and crisis contexts. DOTS aims to facilitate impactful collaborations amongst research institutions, technology firms, public policy institutions, transnational agencies and businesses. The first issue examines how humanitarian organizations and technologists respond to protracted crisis in context of Japan.
