Crisis Management: IBM


Crisis management involves identifying a crisis, planning a response to the crisis and confronting and resolving the crisis. It is especially important to a corporation. Think IBM did quite well in the retrieval of its laptops battery which is produced by SONY.
Accept Responsibility: SONY is willing to financially support the retrieval, which does not cause financial hardship to the company.

Protect the Consumer: In order to protect users' safety, IBM made an announcement which was the retrieval of 52.6 million pieces of batteries.

Find the Truth: IBM found out that when a user was using his IBM laptop in the Los Angeles Airport, it caused fire because his laptop was over-heated. But nobody got hurt.
