Issues management, according to conventional wisdom, was created in the United States during the 1970s as a response strategy and early warning tool for dealing with emergent issues. A wide array of issues, resulting from robust and far-reaching protest, was raised against businesses in every industry in the United States. This era of corporate critique started in the anti-war and civil rights movements that were hot in the 1960s. The critique of “the establishment” reached out to touch every aspect of life and corporate behavior in the United States.
