(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2017)

Post-crises response strategies: a combined model to manage brand crises
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2017)
Brand crises negatively affect customers’ perception of the brand’s ability to deliver expected functional or symbolic benefits. Post-crisis response strategies should be implemented to restore brand trust and diminish the effect of reputational threat, since these strategies act as critical determinants of the actual impact of the crisis on consumers’ evaluations and consequently on repurchase intentions.

In the prisoners’ dilemma, the first best outcome is ...

Green Luxury: New Divide in Positioning Strategies Needed?
