5. BEYOOONLINE.COM 3. Reputation & Risk A corporate reputation is a cognitive representation of a company’s actions and results that crystallizes the firm’s ability to deliver valued outcomes to its stakeholders. When these expected outcomes are not delivered, the damage to the company’s reputation manifests itself in impoverished revenues, decreased ability to attract financial capital, and reduced appeal to potential customers and current employees. These negative outcomes translate into lessened economic returns and shareholder value. The fluctuating value of the company’s reputation has been termed reputational capital and calculated as the market value of the company in excess of its liquidation value and its intellectual capital. It constitutes the residual value of the company’s intangible assets over and above its stock of patents and know-how. A company’s reputational capital is therefore the value of the company that is ‘at risk’ in everyday interaction with stakeholders. Reputational capital fluctuates in the equity markets as stakeholders convey or withdraw support from the company. 4 Online Reputation Management Strategic Analysis
