Meaning crises in organizations may involve values and moral principles (ethical crises), representations and ideas (conceptual crises), or beliefs and convictions (paradigmatic crises). In those three types of meaning crises, decision-makers’ existentiell (ontic) positioning is integrated in the evolving and critical situation of the organization. Indecisiveness is the existentiell positioning that may occur in ethical crises. Withdrawnness is the existentiell positioning that could be observed in crises of representations. Unsettledness is the existentiell positioning decision-makers endorse, when involved in crises of beliefs. The phenomenon of organizational “shipwreckedness” expresses how meaning crises destroy corporate identity through the degeneration of organizational values, representations, and beliefs.
