A discussion of the definition, the nature and anatomy of crisis, as also the determinants of crisis behavior are presented in the first part of it. The paper is integrated with two case studies, results and conclusions. The aim of this paper is to investigate the crisis process, to explore the patterns of behavior which emerge in response to crisis in Greek Engineer Consultant Companies and thereby to identify problems which may face managers, helping them to cope with more effectively. While this paper is presented within this restricted context, it will be interested to any manager who operates an organization in a crisis time
