Crisis Management And How The Organization Handled A Reputational Crisis

Employees and Managers in RSPCA set marketing objectives in order to create awareness of their products and services to public, to increase their sales in stores, promoting their products and services, launching new products services and brand image. One of their market objectives is “To work for the welfare of pet animals”. This organisation is set up to improve the welfare and support animals from cruelty and provide loving home for them.

This objective is set by the business to ensure support animals from cruelty and to stop brutality to animals and ensure it applies across the world. On the other hand, another objective for RSPCA is “To improve the lives of animals by putting an end to suffering of animals”. This business aims to stop the suffering of animals when used in experiments that can affect them negatively and kill them.

Another scandal case appeared for IKEA in 2013. In fact, IKEA removed from the sale in fifteen European countries frozen meatballs, sold in packs of one kilo, as they would contain horse’s meat, according to the results of a test carried out in the Czech Republic. They tried to reassure the community in doing a DNA to prove their transparency. Finally, after this ethical challenge, IKEA’s supply chain management might significantly improve as the organization. In fact, it was not their first alimentary scandal case. (Reuters,

This article presents the effort to shut down all puppy mills. So far 88 cities small and large have shut down in effect to this. These puppy mills include cats, rabbits, and other small breeds as well. Phoenix is known to be the first city to have a pet store challenge to put a ban on puppy mills. Other cities such as New York City and Salt Lake City have taken a stand against puppy mills as well. As more consumers learn more about the puppy mills, they as well are wanting nothing to do with them. Although many changes are being made some of the local laws still allow small breeds and animals from the animal shelter to be sold. Pet stores now have the option to change to a ‘humane business model’ which allows them to work with shelters and

We often hear sad stories of animals being brutally injured, or even killed, by people. They’re often hunted, poached, and clubbed. I mean, let’s face it, we are still battling Animal Rights issues and several people still don’t agree that animals are worth all that trouble. As a dog owner, and lover of animals in general, I am very aware that each one has it’s own personality and deserve to be treated with more respect than they usually get. But the people that Business2Community are highlighting thought that these creatures were worth risking their lives for. You can see a whole list of people helping animals out of situations that many people wouldn’t have. One man even saved a bear from drowning!

Here, Taco Bell had a customer that started a crisis for their organization, by saying that the hamburger meat used in the ingredient was not real meat. Furthermore, the customer file a lawsuit against the organization. Here, when a crisis occur the first step is to convening with your crisis management team. However, maybe only one team member is present at this crisis, it is their job to assess casualty. Once this done the terms member will contact all other crisis member were they can meet to collaborate a plan for this crisis. If there are any human injury, this step in very important crisis team out to the family member that has love  one involved in this crisis. The organization should be the first one reach to the family this show that

Imagine what life would be like living in a cage. Imagine being enclosed in a space that barely clears 6 inches of room in either direction, not allowing any area to stretch out, sit, or even sleep comfortably. Imagine not being able to shower, or feel the underfoot sensation of soft wisps of grass, or embrace the comfort of a bed. Now, imagine living like that for an entire decade. For dogs raised in puppy mills, imagination is not necessary to experience these conditions. As proven through Oprah Winfrey’s special exposé of puppy mills, the aforementioned depictions are nothing but factual about the conditions of the puppy mills inspected in the nationally-broadcasted episode, as well as the standards that the 10,000 other puppy mills in the United States run on (Oprah Investigates). The puppy mill problem has universally been established as a horrid, unethical way of supplying animals to the pet buyers of the world, but the problem is never solved. While the government can write down law after law of standards for ethical animal treatment, nothing will change because it is so loosely enforced, as many other issues take priority over inspecting the millions of pet breeders producing in America. Instead, this issue can be taken into the hands of the caring individuals who make up the population of pet consumers in America. Since 99% of pet store puppies are actually supplied by puppy mills, any business that is given to pet stores will, in turn, support the puppy mill

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently” (“The 16 Best…”). This quote by Warren Buffet is relatable to many public relations crises. Unfortunately, many individuals are unaware of the long lasting effects of their actions. As a result, an individual’s reputation can be ruined very quickly. If the individual is lucky, the damage to their reputation is not permanent. One man in the midst of repairing his own reputation is Michael Vick. This paper will discuss the details of the Michael Vick dog fighting scandal, how it relates to crisis management, and the overall message this case relays to public relations professionals.

César Chávez, an American activist, once stated, “We know we cannot be kind to animals until we stop exploiting them – exploiting animals in the name of science, exploiting animals in the name of sport, exploiting animals in the name of fashion, and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.” Animal cruelty is a solemn topic that needs to be placed at a higher priority in society in order to ensure a moral treatment of animals in the food or recreational industries. ‘Pets or Food’ is a website about selling all kinds of animals for the purpose of domestication or consumption according to the consumer choice, creating a hoax website that effectively uses images and text to convey their message. Along with the imagery, the layout and purpose

That was in 1998, and at the time it seemed like a turning point in the decades-long fight over circus elephants. For years, animal rights organizations had been releasing horrific undercover videos showing Ringling trainers abusing elephants, but USDA investigations never produced evidence that officials deemed strong enough to warrant action. Now there was a dead body—and a recent precedent. The agency had just fined the King Royal Circus, a small family operation, $200,000 for allowing an elephant to die in an overheated trailer of an untreated salmonella infection.

report confirms many of Wildlife Planets allegations that Marc Ching is nothing more than a fraud looking to profit both monetarily and socially off of the suffering of these poor innocent dogs.

In 2005, the Vermont Teddy Bear Company produced a controversial bear for the Valentine holiday. The bear that was made was called “Crazy for You” and wore a straitjacket. It became an issue when the company was confronted for offending the mentally ill. After the problem became apparent to the organization, it responded by saying that it would continue selling the toy until the inventory was empty. It was put out for the public in January and was sold out by February 3. The ethical issue in this case is whether or not Vermont Teddy Bear Company handled the situation ethically correct.

“Imagine being abused by someone you trust and who is supposed to love you, and to make the situation worse, you can’t use your voice to cry out for help. Animals are like humans except they can’t tell people to stop.” Animal cruelty and abuse, a good website, said that. I think that is a big problem we need to fix. People hurting animals just because they can’t speak out for themselves. Some people take advantage of that. And it us up to humans to tell those people to stop.

I have chosen animal abuse for my PSA topic because I love animals and would like to educate myself and others in hopes to finding a way to stop the cruelty. In researching this topic, I was saddened with the discovery that while there are laws that protect animals and those violating these laws may be prosecuted, there are so many cases that are never reported or taken seriously enough. The PSA includes the pernicious acts towards animals in the everyday life of human beings.

What is a crisis management? It is an unexpected crisis that happens on the company that will affect the trust and loyalty of the stakeholder. It can be extremely costly because it will affect the company reputation and brand. For example like financial failure from poor business management, workplace violence, fires, cybercrime, computer viruses, product tampering or union strikes and other external issue like damaged economy that causes from London bombings, terrorists attacks on 11 September and others. The SHRM 2005 report indicates that only 56% organizations created or revised their disaster preparedness plans but 45% did not after the terrorist attacked on

Here is the final version of the crisis management strategy report which was commissioned by yourself on Monday 5 May 2014.
