Abstract

This case considers the role of communication prior to, during, and after a product recall. More specifically, it explores the importance of dialogue and transparency to create public trust and maintain a company's reputation. It also addresses potential conflicts of interest between corporate lobbying and government regulation, as well as the challenges of balancing individual and community concerns.
