"The need for continuity in operations management"

The theory of continuity for operations management is designed to fill the gap existing between the theory of crisis management and the theory of reliability for machinery and technical systems. The gap refers to individual business organizations, for which informed management for(?) continued completion of tasks and obligations is imperative. This theory is to be built on an established catalogue of notions derived from the science of management and it will be used in a way that is biased towards(?) continuity of operations management. The theory is founded on/upon project experience and previous business operations; it therefore requires a systematic inquiry to gain a thorough understanding of the problem.
