Project 1: Case Study on Crisis Management – Samsung Note 7
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was meant to serve as Samsung’s best 5.7-inch, stylus- wielding smartphone. Introduced in August 2016 to great fanfare, the new Note device not only offered Samsung users an updated smartphone option, it also served as a way to tide over customers until the presumed Galaxy S8 in March 2017. At least that was the plan, until Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 began to catch fire while plugged in to charge. Now Samsung has chosen to cease production on the Note 7 line. Samsung followed up by issuing an official worldwide recall of the Galaxy Note 7 in early September 2016. While this spelled bad news for Samsung, it was only the beginning.
