Crisis Communications for Pfizer

As I mentioned in my previous post, in this blog I will be focusing on Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. I will try to apply the information I learn from the textbook and in-class discussions to developing crisis communication strategies for Pfizer. For example, Professor Laskin explained that crises can be caused by an outside or inside error (deliberate or not). Pfizer, for example, can potentially face crises from such inside causes as drug related deaths and from such outside causes as network hacking resulting in incorrect drug pricing.

Welcome


Greetings Readers!

It is with great excitement that I am debuting my first ever blog. I am an avid social media geek with an addiction to Facebook and Twitter (hhitchen31), but have never made the leap to blogger. For the next fifteen weeks, the duration of my crisis communications class at Quinnipiac Univeristy (see below for disclaimer), I will be taking a critical look at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals from a Public Relations standpoint.Our assignment is to choose our dream company to work for and since Healthcare PR is my passion, Pfizer is my dream. I hope you all enjoy what I have to say!
