Kit Kat or Kit Kat Killer



Greenpeace is a non-governmental environmental organization with offices in over forty countries and with an international coordinating body in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Greenpeace states its goal is to "ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity. In this case, In this day and age it is so beneficial for companies to use social networking sites, those who don’t will fall behind. After reading this it seems as if some companies need better training and awareness on how to manage and control their social networks. It’s just like the guy sitting at home hiding behind a computer screen to be nasty to everyone online but in person would be completely different, you can’t say whatever you’d like just because you don’t have to say it to someone’s face.

For organizations one oversight can make a colossal emergency as this article has obviously indicated, much the same as they have techniques for emergency in generation, client administration, and each other part of the business there need to be some plainly set emergency mediation strategies for informal communities. Assuming that they had reacted to this issue diversely it appears as though the issue could have been took care of effectively with substantially less consideration, yet in view of the arbitrators responses to the "fans" it wound up being sad. Much the same as it was expressed in this article each organization will appropriate feedback the key is taking care of it professionally much the same as "the client is dependably right", organizations ought to be mindful so as not to outrage and indeed, when the client (or fan or whatnot) is wrong they have to know how to handle it nimbly, clarifying it in a non preventive way without striking anybody.

The relationship between organization and people in general is entangled. The keeping away from disposition cannot work in the informal organization days. An organization might as well face feedback acceptably such as Q&A blog and builds) in place of strike them such as erase pictures or uproot posts). Assuming that the organization would not like to Listen or offer two-way exchange, it will increase nothing. On the grounds that you will never know how wide the issues are, and astound how those issues crazy. As the setup from "Greenpeace versus Nestlé" come to be "Nestlé tries to control Greenpeace and Facebook. Does Nestlé needs get ready emergencier arranging?

If their PR and social media groups and marketing had worked nearly together on the Facebook rollout, they could have rapidly expected the chance a Facebook page might make for Greenpeace, and could have ready for what may happen. Being new to social media isn't much of a reason when you are not new to contention. Provided that they'd invested some opportunity investigating the lessons gained experience from their own history and the lessons gained experience from other social media inadequacies, they could now be joyfully pushing Kit Kats today.

In my opinion, what Nestle should so is when the video came out, organised a meeting with Greenpeace to hear all their points. Secondly, they should reveal their position, work with Greenpeace on a joint statement. Thirdly, let Greenpeace spread their version, you spread yours. After all, Nestle have good blogger relationships, they should have used that. Next step is point out that you are trying to make things better, but these things take time. In the meantime all suggestions welcome. as it is, the only winners from this piece of mischief are Greenpeace. After all, had Nestle already stopped using the oil from that area? But will people stop buying Nestle goods? That will be the real question in the long-term.

  1. First thing that I thought of while watching the video was 'what the f....'. That's some really weird stuff going on for a piece of my favourite chocolate. Oh well. This is highly related to advocacy, hence the involvement of Greenpeace. But this could be some dirty and harsh way of getting their message across. I know Greenpeace was trying to raise awareness of the fact that Nestle uses palm oil bought from companies that destroy the environment. I mean, why not take it out with those companies directly? They probably have their own reasons but I still can't get that bloody chocolate finger out of my mind..

    1. I have to agree with Annaliza. Why Greenpeace would do such video like this. In my opinion, Greenpeace must first go directly to Nestle and discuss regarding the matter before making the video. From there, it will be much more easier to coop the problem. Nevertheless, the campaign actually work. I've made some research regarding this matter in Greenpeace website. Nestle had slash out companies that links in destroying the rainforest in Indonesia! Good job Greenpeace! Here's the link to the story for this case.
