Latest Case Study:

The Toyota vehicle recalls in 2009 & 2010 received widespread media coverage and portrayed Toyota in a negative light, due mainly to management’s slow response to the crisis situation. In late February 2010, Toyota’s CEO, Akio Toyoda, made a public apology, but by then the damage was done. Toyota’s image of quality & reliability was badly tarnished as a result, with drops in share value, customer loyalty and revenue worldwide.
