“Corporate reputation is an amalgamation off all expectations, perceptions and opinions of an organization developed over time by customers, employees, suppliers, investors and the public at large in relation to the organization’s qualities, characteristics and behaviors, based on personal experience, hearsay, or the organization’s observed past actions.” Bennet e Kottasz, 2000
