• 19 terrorists hijacked 4 aircraft for suicide attacks
• Almost 3000 people killed

Previous Research• Private sector impacts have not been the subject of significant, in-depth
research• General lack of data and models describing impacts at
corporate/organizational level• Focus on small businesses (Alesch, Webb, Tierney)• Tied to particular events for specific companies
(Knight and Pretty)– Everglades Air Crash, ValuJet, 1996– Tylenol Poisoning, J&J, 1982– Bhopal Gas Leak, Union Carbide, 1984– Norco Explosion, Shell Oil, 1988– Lockerbie Air Crash– Alaskan Oil Pollution, Exxon Valdez, 1989

ICDRM
Previous Research, Cont’d• Provide valuable baseline for research
• Do not adequately address critical issues of 9/111. Long term effect of extreme events on large, publicly held
corporations
2. Effectiveness of pre-planned and professional corporate crisis management and disaster recovery activities on the long-range economic impact
3. Impact of the terrorist threat on best practices for corporate crisis management, security, and disaster recovery, and business continuity
4. The evolution of new, inter-organizational relationships necessary for preparedness and response to terrorism.

ICDRM
Preliminary Findings• 9/11 events inflicted severe and immediate
physical impacts to all businesses, government offices, and other organizations located in and around the WTC complex.
• Affected companies needed to manage, primarily by themselves, an event that involved dead, injured, missing, physically displaced and traumatized employees, losses of data, information, and institutional knowledge, and an unprecedented uncertainty in market behavior.
![Page 24: ICDRM Assessing the Financial Impacts of the World Trade](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5462ea40b1af9f936c8b51e2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ICDRM
For the vast majority of large, publicly traded companies directly impacted by the WTC attacks, it appears that the bulk of financial impacts were
absorbed by the markets/industries rather than the individual companies themselves and therefore transferred quickly to the economy as a whole.
![Page 25: ICDRM Assessing the Financial Impacts of the World Trade](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5462ea40b1af9f936c8b51e2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ICDRM
Risk behavior of the majority of companies was not altered to a
significant degree by the 9/11 attacks
![Page 26: ICDRM Assessing the Financial Impacts of the World Trade](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5462ea40b1af9f936c8b51e2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ICDRM
There have emerged implications showing that there exist mechanisms to absorb or transfer severe economic and
financial impacts of large-scale disasters affecting large businesses.
![Page 27: ICDRM Assessing the Financial Impacts of the World Trade](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5462ea40b1af9f936c8b51e2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ICDRM
Next TasksDetermine what caused discrepancies between the outliers, and confirm our findings regarding market absorption of financial loss,
Investigate strategic impact on corporations not directly impacted by WTC attack (20-25 companies) and compare with sample companies.
•Personal Interviews (40-60)
•Surveys (150)
