To Apologize, Or Not to Apologize? That Is a Question - How Should an Organization Respond to Executive Employees’ Private Life Misconduct?

This research is the first to evaluate the relative effectiveness of two major crisi response strategies- ‘apology (acceptance of responsibility)’ and ‘apology (denial of responsibility) in such events.
