Companies Take an Active Role in Managing Their Reputations
New Survey to Shed Light on Companies’ Ability to Manage Their Reputations
IncreMental Advantage's Reputation Management Conference
PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“A growing number of companies realize that their reputations are not merely a reflection of their relations with the media, employees, vendors, shareholders and regulators. Rather, their reputations are a precursor to their relations with these important stakeholders,” said David Wanetick, Managing Director of IncreMental Advantage. “Thus, forward-thinking companies are developing programs to enhance their reputations as well as are devising crisis management strategies to defend their reputations,” he continued. “There is a lot at stake as research demonstrates direct linkage between a company’s reputation and its market capitalization.”
IncreMental Advantage announced the launch of its unique survey designed to measure the importance that companies attach to the management of their reputations.
Issues addressed in this survey include:
Who is responsible for the active management of firm-wide reputation
How to achieve management buy-in to reputation management
Who can be terminated and on what grounds to protect the firm’s reputation
How technology makes companies’ reputations more vulnerable to attack
Responses to challenges to an entity’s reputation
Best practices for measuring a company’s reputation
Devising a crisis management plan
Professionals engaged in media relations, brand management, investor relations, corporate communications and the like are invited to participate in this survey. The survey may be accessed at the following link:
