Crisis Communication Case Study -- Vioxx

Editor's Notes

  1. Perceptions of a company can mean more than the actual reality. Because an image is an impression, image is not necessarily parallel to the reality of how the organization is observed
  2. Once the image has been threatened, it is necessary for the crisis communicator to identify the most important audience or to prioritize the important audiences in a crisis situation.
  3. On page 248 of the book, you can find a chart which labels all of strategies and their key characteristics. Suggestions for a successful image restoration suggests 3 stages, named above. These strategies can be used alone or together throughout the restoration process, but should be kept mildly consistent.
  4. The Manufacturer of the drug, Merck & Co., withdrew it after a trial showed that people who took 25 mg of Vioxx daily for more than 18 months were twice as likely to suffer from a heart attack or stroke. Now, Merck had claimed it withdrew the drug based on results of a 3 year clinical study that it had received days earlier. However, allegations of cardiovascular risks surfaced as early as 2000, a year after it was introduced.
  5. There are a 5 image restoration strategies: denial, evasion of responsibility, reducing offensiveness of event, corrective action, and mortification… To repair their image, Merck strategically used elements from 4 of the 5; consequently the only strategy the avoided was mortification; apologizing for the act.
  6. Merck’s use of bolstering and defeasibility, wit the strategic introduction of partial blame shifting in the subsequent 2 phases, further reinforced the message and image it aimed to convey, and the message that any imputation of liability should be referred to the regulatory authority, the FDA.
