Basing on the analysis, the authors created a list of possible areas of innovation activities of enterprises, the crisis of which has arisen because of natural, social, or military man-made emergencies. They analyzed the war as the source of the crisis for companies and the source of the crisis of the state and showed that the state in which military operations are going on, needs to move from conventional management to crisis management.
