What am I required to do in this MAR036-6 Brand Communication and Reputation Management
Review the Boeing crisis and compare it with another crisis that has occurred in the past 12 months.Decide which was handled well and which badly, and analyse the effects on brand and reputation for both crises.You must defend your opinion.
You should consider such things as:
- Media coverage: did the media cover the issue fairly?
- Media handling: did the organisation successfully communicate through the media?
- Social media: to what extent did social communications drive the crisis? How did the organisation(s)
respond? - Did the crisis arise internally or was there an external catalyst?
- How well did the organisation handle technical aspects of the crisis?
- How well did the organisation handle communications aspects of the crisis?
- In what way or ways did the fact the two crashes occurred outside the US affect how the issue was handled?
It may or may not be necessary to consider all of the above points depending on the nature of the crisis you have selected.
Your opinion is crucial, but it must be well argued and supported in the facts. You must cite references throughout.
