This question is framed like a business school case study but doesn't necessarily reflect how many businesses operate. Being able to regain trust will often rely on a business's willingness and ability to take action, as opposed to simply making a PR apology and promise to change. Many businesses don't engage with their community. At worst social and community posts are made based on what the business wants to push. Sometimes there is a dedicated manager who does their best to engage with the community, but they can't always grab the interest of key stakeholders in the business. If and when a business is proactively engaged and transparent with its community, they are in a much better position to handle crises when they appear.
