The Kursk, a Russian nuclear-powered submarine sank in the comparatively shallow waters of the Barents Sea in August 2000, during a naval activity. Several survivors were reported to be awaiting rescue, and within a week, a global rescue party gathered at the scene, which had possessed between them all that was wanted for a successful saving.
However theier efforts to save anybody were in vain. Based on the recollections and daily situational reports of Commodore David Russell, who led the rescue mission of the Royal Navy, the case scrutinizes how and why this failure-a classic coordination failure -happened.
The Kursk rescue mission also illustrates the hurdles of pluralistic hazard and disaster management, and asks students to consider the best way to bring about options in the surface of pluralistic danger issues, comprising the depletion of natural resources and a number of other calamities, when multiple parties with competing and often conflicting values and expertise have to learn to organize and establish a virtual, well-aligned organization.
