Corporate Reputation
Fombrun, C. J., Reputation,

Reputation is the most important
commercial mechanism for conveying
information to consumers. It is a
distinctive capability that accrues
competitive advantage to an
organization.

WHY DO WE NEED TO CARE
ABOUT IMAGE?
Consumers are more sophisticated than
ever before
There is more distrust than ever regarding
motives of big business
There has been more changes in the last
ten years than in the last 80
There is a clear relationship between a
positive image and profitability

Image is no longer solely the realm of
marketing, but rather a strategic
instrument of top management.
De Soet (CEO Dutch KLM)
When having to choose similar
products, 9 out of 10 consumers
base their decisions on the
reputation of the company.
