Introduction:
There are three words that make up one of the most common statements people make especially when they want to say something untrue or when natural events occurs... "IT JUST HAPPENED". Yes, that's the statement but that's so unreal because nothing ever just happens. All I'm trying to say is that anything that happened or is happening is the effect of a cause, and that happening is automatically a cause which will produce effects, which goes on and on. This primarily is a simple layman's explanation of what 'CAUSALITY' is. But below is its better academic definition rendered by en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/causality:
"Causality (also referred to as causation, or cause and effect ) is the agency or efficacy that connects one process (the cause ) with another process or state (the effect), where the first is understood to be partly responsible for the second, and the second is dependent on the first. In general, a process has many causes, which are said to be causal factors for it, and all lie in its past. An effect can in turn be a cause of many other effects."
Causality is a very laudable concept and mostly science inclined. It relates to Metaphysics, Ontology, Epistemology, etc. But we are taking a different twist here to look at the concept of 'cause and effects' in event management by highlighting the environmental, social, emotional, and educational effects of Events, its causes and how to manage it properly.
This study will take us through the relationships between the three stages of Events, which are Pre-event (conceptualization and planning), The Event (Execution) and Post- event (Wrapping), and its effects on the Team, Audience and general public. I always say that every event is a serious business and should be seen as such because it involves the 'mindset of people'. This study shall also clarify that.
