Exploring and Responding to Consumer Outrage, Failure, and Incivility

The aim of this session is to provide insight into how brands should respond when consumers act uncivil, express highly public outrage toward a brand, or are themselves the cause of a service failure. In doing so, this session also explores the underlying motivations and consequences of these behaviors.
