9. Reputational Capital High reserves of reputational capital give an organisation distinct advantages:
GENERATE REPUTATIONAL GAINS
Their products/services and stock offerings entice more customers and investors and command higher prices
Their jobs lure more applicants and generate more loyalty and productivity from their employees
Their clout with suppliers is greater and they pay lower prices for purchases and have more stable revenues
MITIGATE THE RISK OF REPUTATIONAL LOSSES
Their risks of crisis are fewer and when crisis do occur, they survive with less financial loss

13. Stakeholder listening: How? Two main categories of listening:
Environmental scanning (continuous)
Mostly media & document analysis
Internal processes to deal with issues/risks should be formalised
Formal measurement/research (pre-defined intervals)
Reliable & valid social research methods
Combine quantitative (describe with statistics) and qualitative (understand the reasons why) methods
Adapt measurement instruments and tools to the needs of specific stakeholder groups
Set targets & track progress
Two-way process: give feedback to stakeholders after measurement
14. Stakeholder listening: What? Focus of measurement depends on which stakeholder or stakeholder groups are being listened to
Generally, stakeholder listening can focus on:
Perceptions, needs, expectations, experiences
Relationship quality
Broadly influenced by various indicators of communication and perceived behaviour or conduct towards stakeholders
Reputation
Social impact or social performance (mostly communities)
Strategic alignment (mostly employees)
Identifying gaps
Describing specific aspects
Measuring or quantifying

Quantifying perceptions in an index to plot performance
Focus group interviews
Personal interviews
Simultaneous translation where necessary
