- Abstract
This study focuses attention on CEO effectiveness in overseeing natural disaster preparedness in organizations in the manufacturing sector. Based upon an online survey of those in mid-management positions in organizations within the manufacturing sector, there is the perception that the CEO is somewhat disconnected from natural disaster planning. In this regard, the findings of the study support the conclusion that the CEO in particular is not attending to disaster preparedness to the degree that managers would like. Ironically, the CEO is perceived as being effective in compiling current data on an organization's natural disaster risks but ineffective when overseeing the establishment of a preventive framework.
