I agree. Boards should have a Crisis Committee to oversee management response. I seem to remember the same discussion in this forum.
One thing I do NOT understand is why companies still do NOT have overall guidelines on how to respond for situations like this. UA in particular where it is NOT a new thing for them. They never learned.
Time for companies to put their money where their mouths are. Time to reflect the "CUSTOMER FIRST" mantra into policies and practices.
