Abstract

The rise of social media has brought an increasing interaction between customers and business. Anyone can share thoughts and opinions with anyone else. This new technology creates new challenges in many fields including the field of crisis management. The question is how companies should handle a crisis in social media. The purpose of this paper was to develop the ideas of how chain restaurants plan for crisis management regarding rumors dissemination in social media. The author starts by providing the definitions of crisis, crisis management, social media, and chain restaurant. Then, the author uses a three-stage approach for crisis management suggested by Coombs to explain how chain restaurants can respond.
