This research analyzed the course of news coverage of corporate polices that cause the corporate crisis. Formosa Chang chain restaurant in Taiwan raised prices in 2012, withdrew the policy under the pressure of negative media coverage. In 2014 Formosa Chang raised prices three times, nothing happened. We conduct text analysis of media coverage to find why the same company’s same policy caused different consequences. Found five factors caused the 2012 crisis. First, the cognitions of corporate identity are different between Formosa Chang and publics. Second, the defensive strategies of Formosa Chang have not solid supports. Third, Formosa Chang ignored the powerful and legitimate stakeholder. Fourth, Formosa Chang didn’t consider the social climate. We also found nine signals of organizations crisis in media coverage: media cover company policy, negative coverage, common issue definition, issue legitimacy, culture symbol, media take common stance, polarization, celebrity comment, government involved. Theoretical and practical implications have discussed |
