None; the company knew of the report's content and intent well before it was published.

Further, the authors state that they speak only for themselves, not their employers.

Don't look for evidence of overt manipulation, or think that the absence thereof is significant; coercion without evidence is trivial. Besides, no overt manipulation is necessary to make a skittish board distance itself from someone who has made a major customer publicly angry.
