Opening Case: Domino’s Employees Post Vulgar Videos on YouTube
The Problem (The Incident)
2 employees created 5 prank videos that went viral on YouTube https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaNuE3DsJHM&list=RDOhBmWxQpedI&index=6
The videos showed a variety of acts of food contamination by employees
Six hours after being posted, the videos were featured on the consumer advocacy site Consumerist
Even though the videos were removed, they continued to damage the Domino’s brand, with many stores rapidly losing business
Opening Case: Domino’s Employees Post Vulgar Videos on YouTube
The Solution (The Company’s Response)
Domino’s tracked down the perpetrators and immediately fired them, requiring them to write a letter explaining the videos
CEO Patrick Doyle posted an apology video using the same key words as were used for the originals https ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dem6eA7-A2I
This video was highly effective, given that it offered a direct response to both Domino’s customers and to others who had seen the videos, and it also explained what Domino’s was doing about the problem
Lessons Learned from this Case
Example of Employee-related issues: they should all be trained in social media use (and misuse)
Reputation-management response should use the same social media channels, allowing the company to specifically target the desired audience
A company needs to explicitly monitor activities and be ready to respond immediately in case of a crisis,
Example of employee-related issue
Recall Kit-Kat – reputation management, part of implementation issue. How to control negative brand media

Legal Issues Versus Ethical Issues
Ethics

Legal

What may be unethical can be legal. E.g. spamming in SN.
Vice-versa: Illegal but ethical.
What is ethical and legal is different from other countries? E.g. spamming is not illegal in Malaysia but not in the US. The use of pirated materials is ethical in Malaysia but not in the UK. Thus, international business has to customize according the different countries’ ethics and law.
25

32
How to deal with the issues?
Develop Social Media Policies -establishing acceptable use of social media. Specify what are permitted/not permitted. E.g. HP Blogging Policy
We will strive to have open and honest dialogues with our readers.
We will correct inaccurate or misleading postings in a timely manner. We will not delete posts unless they violate our policies.
We will disclose conflicts of interest.
Our Standards of Business Conduct will guide what we write about — so there are some topics we won't comment on such as information about financials, HP intellectual property, trade secrets, management changes, lawsuits, shareholder issues, layoffs, and contractual agreements with alliance partners, customers, and suppliers.
We will provide links to relevant material available on other blogs and Web sites. We will disclose any sources fully through credits, links and trackbacks unless the source has requested anonymity.
See http:// socialmedia.biz/social-media-policies/ for many examples of policies
How to deal with the issues?
Monitor Content
Procedures and technologies that will monitor real-time social media e.g. SM Analytics tools and remove unwanted contents:
To prevent malware infections
To prevent potentially libelous comments e.g. Domino pizza
To prevent leakage trade secrets, or other inappropriate content from being sent externally
To prevent abuse of non-work related use of SM

- Restructuring Business Processes
Need to restructure organization to adopt SC
Business process management (BPM) - a holistic management approach focused on aligning all aspects of an organization with the wants and needs of its customers. Suitable for SCRM. Empowerment, less hierarchical organization structure
Less hierarchical organization structure
More empowerment of workers to make decisions
Business Process Change: Conversation centric instead of process centric and support and operation processes that create value
41
Change Management should consider:
Effective communications that inform various stakeholders of the reasons for the change (Why?), the benefits of successful implementation (What is in it for us, and you?) as well as the details of the change (When? Where? Who is involved? How much will it cost? etc.).
Devise an effective education, training and/or skills upgrading scheme for the organization.
Counter resistance from the employees of companies and align them to overall strategic direction of the organization.
Monitoring of the implementation and fine-tuning as required.”
