Livestock Co. was established as milling company of the city of Abidjan. In April 2010, a grain silo at Livestock Co. burst spilling animal feed grain onto the ground.

Companies like Livestock Co. need a business continuity management (BCM) plan to minimize the adverse effects of any disruption to an organization s activities and to ensure a rapid return to normalcy of operations. A BCM plan will help local management to know exactly what is needed to be done to safeguard employees, secure buildings and protect customer information in the event of a catastrophic incident.Tene s research evaluates the process for developing a BCM plan and offers an implementation process to ensure its smooth execution.The book highlights the importance of business leaders embracing the process of business continuity management.
