Moving beyond negative spillover: The positive consequences of an innocent brand's responses to another brand's crisis

Abstract: This study investigated (a) the negative spillover effects of brand's food‐safety crisis on an entire industry, dominant and nondominant innocent brands in the same product, and (b) the impacts of the innocent brand's response on the responded brand and the entire industry. The study conducted a 2 (market position: dominant vs. nondominant) × 2 (response: no‐response vs. response) between‐subjects design with one additional control group. The findings showed that the negative impact of the dominant brand's cri… Show more

“…Brand crises can generate adverse consequences that extend well beyond the directly involved brand. However, empirical research offering guidance on how a brand within the same industry responds to mitigate spillover effects remains scarce (e.g., Chang, 2023; Zhang & Lim, 2021). This study investigated the reason behind negative spillovers within the same industry, specifically focusing on attribute similarities between a brand facing a crisis and its competitors.…”

“…The accessibility‐diagnosticity framework (Feldman & Lynch, 1988) provides a theoretical account for negative spillover effects in brand crises (Chang, 2023; Maher & Singhapakdi, 2017; Zhang & Lim, 2021). This framework posits that evaluations of an object are influenced by both the accessibility of relevant information in memory and the diagnosticity of that information, meaning its perceived relevance in drawing inferences about the brand being evaluated (Maher & Singhapakdi, 2017).…”
