IT IS A PROJECT QUESTION! PLEASE GIVE A DETAILED EXPLANATION AND REASONING WITH THE ANSWER.

When two Domino's Pizza employees filmed a gross prank in the kitchen of the res- taurant in Conover, North Carolina, the company suddenly had a major public rela- tions crisis on its hands. The video ended up posted on YouTube and other sites and showed a Domino's employee performing unsanitary and vulgar actions while prepar- ing food, with another employee providing narration. By the next day, over a million disgusted people had viewed the video and discussion about Domino's had spread throughout Twitter and Google. As Domino's quickly realized, social media has the power to take tiny incidents and turn them into marketing crises. A company spokesperson said Domino's had no idea the video had been shot and posted online. When the company first learned about the video, executives decided not to respond aggressively, hoping the contro- versy would quiet down. What they missed, though, was how these videos can go viral so quickly. The chief marketing officer of a social media marketing firm said compa- nies make a mistake when they assume a negative video will not spread because all too often it does-as Domino's discovered in this case. In just a matter of days, Domino's reputation was damaged. Customers' perception of its quality went from positive to negative. One brand expert said videos showing what this one did, even if the employ- ees never intended to sell the tainted food, can create a situation where customers will think twice about purchasing that product. So what happened to the two employees? Although they told Domino's execu- tives they never actually delivered the tainted food, they were fired and charged with a felony. And Domino's posted its own video featuring its top manager addressing the incident on YouTube not long after it occurred. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 14-17.
