Research is always a good first step. The company needs to know whether the

stakeholders. The company may not have been able to avoid some damage based

show that it is in now moving in a different direction. The solution also involves a
re-examination of company values and a serious effort of communicating and
enforcing those values from the rank and file all the way to top management.
