  • Consumer Response to Negative Publicity: the Moderating Role of Commitment
    ROHINI AHLUWALIA, ROBERT E. BURNKRANT, and H. RAO UNNAVA* Even though negative information about brands and companies is widely prevalent in the marketplace, except for case studies, there has been no systematic investigation of how consumers process negative in^' formation about the brands they like and use. In the three studies in this research, the authors attempt to bridge this gap. The findings of the first and second studies provide a theoretical framework for understanding' how consumers process negative information in the marketplace. Commitment of the consumer toward the brand is identified as a moder- ator of negative information effects. In the third study, the authors use this theoretical framework to derive and test response strategies that compa- nies can use to counter negative publicity for consumers who are high and low in commitment toward the brand. s Consumer Response to Negative Publicity: The Moderating Role of Commitment Incidents of negative publicity are widely prevalent in the publicity literature has examined this problem at jsome marketplace, ranging from safety concerns with Valujet air- length but has not converged on a unifying theoretical lines to tainted beef from Hudson foods. Such information framework. One underlying assumption in this literature is can be devastating, resulting in major losses of revenue and that negative information is almost always devastating. For market share. A study by DDB Needham Worldwide example, the Merriam formula used to determine the impact (Advertising Age 1995) finds that negative publicity and of media exposure gives negative news quadruple weight how the company handles it are among the most important compared with positive news (Kroloff 1988).

Attorneys Department of Justice Washington, D.C. 20530-0001 [email protected] (202) 514-2217 QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Constitution and Acts of Congress confer on the President broad authority to prohibit or restrict the entry of aliens outside the United States when he deems it in the Nation’s interest. Exercising that authority, the President issued Executive Order No. 13,780, 82 Fed. Reg. 13,209 (Mar. 9, 2017). Section 2(c) of that Order suspends for 90 days the entry of foreign nationals from six countries that Congress or the Executive previously designated as presenting heightened terrorism-related risks, subject to case-by-case waivers. The district court issued, and the court of appeals upheld, a preliminary injunction barring enforcement of Section 2(c) against any person worldwide, because both courts concluded that the suspension violates the Establishment Clause.
