This case shocked the entire nation and nobody had ever imagined that an industrial accident could be that deadly and venomous. The researcher is trying to understand the incidence from the perspective of public relations and how Union Carbide played its role in the light of public relations. This study is trying to understand that how Union Carbide would have made a difference to its image if they would have responsibly used public relations for its better international image and social responsibility in India. Bhopal Gas Tragedy was an important case for understanding crisis and this case also highlighted that how PR could have been used for handling the situation and for managing relations with people. This case was the talk of the town as thousands were affected and it was a national casualty. This case raised many issues pertaining to Management and people and it also underlined that improved management could have led to better treatment of the case.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Сделана попытка понять катастрофу в Бхопале (также известную как Бхопальская газовая трагедия) в контексте связей с общественностью, выявить роль, которую корпорация Union Carbide Corporation сыграла в событиях, когда погибло более 3000 человек, а 15 000 индийцев получили смертельные увечья. Этот случай потряс всю страну, раньше никто представить себе не мог, что промышленная авария может иметь такие последствия, привести к отравлению тысяч людей. Авторы анализируют инцидент с точки зрения антикризисного PR, выявляют действия Union Carbide в период до и после событий. Авторы пытаются ответить на вопрос о том, каким образом корпорация Union Carbide смогла бы сохранить и улучшить международный имидж, ответственно используя технологии связей с общественностью в Индии, следуя политике социальной ответственности. Бхопальская газовая трагедия стала важным событием для понимания кризисных ситуаций и изучения возможностей PR в управлении коммуникациями. Этот случай стал своего рода притчей во языцех: национальная трагедия спровоцировала обсуждение проблемной ситуации в отношениях руководителей и подчиненных, когда оптимизация взаимодействия была необходима, но не задействована.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>public relations</kwd><kwd>social responsibility</kwd><kwd>crisis communication</kwd><kwd>Bhopal Disaster</kwd><kwd>Union Carbide Corporation</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>связи с общественностью</kwd><kwd>социальная ответственность</kwd><kwd>кризисные коммуникации</kwd><kwd>Бхопальская катастрофа</kwd><kwd>Union Carbide Corporation</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Abraham, M.
