When quality falsification occurs in food and other products, the company may be subject to administrative sanctions from government authorities and may also be held civilly and criminally liable. Furthermore, the company's brand image may be tarnished, leading to a loss of consumer trust and confidence, and a decline in employee morale. In this way, quality falsification issues can significantly damage a company's value, which is not easy to recover.
In this presentation, I will use examples from the food industry to explain the key points of how to respond to investigation cases that require a consumer perspective, as well as the mindset (possible measures) to take in peacetime.
Only members can watch it.
