  Crisis! "Can't happen to us". But the list is very long. Almost 200 corporate crisis within the last 8 years in the US and E.U!! Siemens, Whole Foods, Novartis, Uber, VW, Chipotle, Fifa, Starbucks, Facebook-Analytica, Halifax, Google.
  The Siemens case was estimated at a direct cost of $2,2 billion. The VW emissions' scandal retracted back some million cars. The food giants in the US pay constantly fines when accused of their product ingredients, or their employee policies. Even a local rotisserie in my hometown is against customers who happened to visit its kitchen… Yes, I know "it can't happen to us…".
  Back in 1998, Bridgestone tires began hearing how some of their tires were suddenly separating, causing horrifying accidents. For two years, the company sat on the information, then, in 2000, the NHTSA announced a massive investigation into the reports. When these headlines hit, a nation of drivers was terrified. The company did nothing until CBS News reported that 200 people had been killed by the tires and 700 more people had been injured. Then, they recalled 6,5 million tyre sets! Do you want more?
