In recent years, the frequent occurrence of corporate value related to negative publicity has not merely brought damage to enterprise crises, but the results in the negative spillover has damaged competitive enterprises. Based on the “accessibility-diagnosability” frame, this paper explores the impact of competitive enterprises’ response statements on spillover effects in the context of corporate value related to negative publicity. The study employs Chinese consumer samples and adopts experimental methods to test hypotheses. The research conclusions reveal that 1) The negative events of product quality triggered by corporate ethical and moral performance exert a negative impact on competitive enterprises. In comparison with the negative events of corporate morality, the negative events of product quality triggered by morality exert a greater negative impact on competitive enterprises. 2) After the negative events of quality due to morality occurred in crisis enterprises, the best response for competitive enterprises is to make the clarification response statement; while when moral negative events occur in crisis enterprises, the best response for competitive enterprises is to release a denial statement. The research conclusion contributes to deepening the theoretical understanding and practical guidance of crisis coping strategies of competitive enterprises from the spillover of value-oriented negative events of crisis enterprises to competitive enterprises.
