A business professor has just arrived in China with a group of students on a study tour, when one of the members of the group comes down with the H1N1 virus. The entire group is either hospitalized or quarantined. The professor, who is also the tour director, must determine how to deal with the crisis, and quickly. This case is designed for use in a crises management course, or in an early class in an international management course to illustrate the sort of differences one may confront in the international environment.
