QUESTION 2

Case Study: Delivery Disaster (Robbins & Coulter, 2012, page 454)
When two Dominos Pizza employees filmed a gross prank in the kitchen of the restaurant in Conover, North Carolina, the company suddenly had a major public relations crisis on its hands. The video ended up posted on YouTube and other sites and showed a Dominos employee preparing sandwiches for delivery while putting cheese up his nose, nasal mucus on the sandwiches, and violating other health-code standards, with another employee providing narration. By the next day, over a million disgusted people had viewed the video and discussion about Dominos had spread throughout Twitter and Google.
As Dominos quickly realized, social media has the power to take tiny incidents and turn them into marketing crises. A company spokesperson said, We got blindsided by two idiots with a video camera and an awful idea. When the company first learned about the video, executives decided not to respond aggressively, hoping the controversy would quiet down. What they missed, though, was the perpetual mushroom effect of viral sensations. The chief marketing officer of a social media marketing firm said, If you think its not going to spread, thats when it gets bigger. And as Dominos discovered, it did. In just a matter of days, Dominos reputation was damaged. Customers perception of its quality went from positive to negative. One brand expert said, Its graphic enough in the video, and its created enough of a stir, that it gives people a little pause.
So what happened to the two employees? Although they told Dominos executives they never actually delivered the tainted food, they were fired and charged with a felony. And Dominos posted its own video featuring its top manager addressing the incident on YouTube not long after it occurred.
