The document discusses corporate image and strategies for image restoration. It outlines that corporate image is influenced by others' perceptions and must be trusted. When accusations threaten an image, understanding the nature and responsibility of the act is key. Three stages of image restoration are identified: preparation, identifying the crisis nature, and crisis coping. The case study discusses a drug withdrawn in 2004 due to safety issues, the CEO's resignation, and Merck's consistent message campaign from 2004-2005 to argue its case and reduce liability.
