Apple Crisis Management

Wrong price tagging
Environmental pollution
Lake Southern Prince()
Wailing from the residents
Labor problem doesnt belong to Apple : exclusively, why do people act so dramatically against us? Apple has the influence, economically and otherwise. So we anticipate much more from you.
First Step: Put out the fire in China
:
We didnt shirk from the responsibilities which belong to the supplier in the first place.
Carefully clarify the responsibilities and win supports from more people.
