日子不好过。很多公司正在削减开支，老百姓在勒紧裤带过日子， 许多决策者也在推迟大规模购买。然而，你的销售目标并没有减少。在严酷的经济形势下您需要更铁的客户关系。

Companies with an increasingly fierce media landscape changes and an army of self-media eager to express their opinions via wechat and Weibo, that may lead to a reputation crisis and its effects on their brand and even businesses. This is especially true in the digital world, where a new crisis management strategy is a must-have.
社交媒体时代，危机无处不在。客户投诉，安全问题，环境问题，劳工问题，产品召回等等。今天中国有超过300万的自媒体，大量的自媒体通过微信和微博表达自己的观点，如今，越来越多的企业担心声誉危机对自身品牌乃至企业发展的影响。在数字化时代尤其如此，有效的品牌危机预警与应对管理战略势在必行。
