Some situations that affect your good image can be somewhat planned for in advance but cannot be predicted. This would include such situations as natural disasters that affect production and delivery schedules.

Other situations can be both planned for and predicted such as negative campaigns, designed to overtly or covertly underminine your good image. Sometimes competitors will undermine Good Image or Corporate Image by undermining your business, products or services in order to grab your business or customers.
Sometimes your good image can be undermined through staff rudeness or incompetence, and in rare cases by criminality it is impossible to watch staff continually, quite apart from the civil liberties issues involved in that. Nevertheless your good image is often tarnished by this.

This is not an area all Public Relations Consultants handle well and among other things needs a good Image Manager who can manage your Media Image. This could make or break you or your company.
