Description
New Strategies For Reputation Management shows you how to take the initiative in strategically managing your business's reputation. Author Andrew Griffin shows that standard thinking on reputation management is often inadequate for today's information age, and reveals a host of new and robust techniques and methods to ensure your company's reputation can withstand the major crises and unforeseen events which may try to engulf it.
Only 31% of people trust business leaders to tell the truth according to a survey conducted by the Institute of Business Ethics. A damaged reputation can have severe knock-on effects on the bottom line, and most corporates value their reputations accordingly. Covering both practical and strategic issues, New Strategies For Reputation Management will demonstrate how you can deal effectively with unexpected crises, and what strategies you should be implementing to build your company's good reputation at other times.
With international case studies and hundreds of examples drawn from the author's extensive experience in the field, this book is an effective guide to the field which will enable you to manage your company's reputation for success.

Reviews / Votes
"This book is written by a real expert who understands the public issues facing business very well. He writes in a lucid style and uses plenty of relevant examples. This text should be read by all those who manage or own companies - and indeed those who advise them." Luke Johnson, Founder, Risk Capital Partners and Chairman of Channel 4 Television "Essential reading for all serious corporate communications practitioners." Rob Colmer, External Affairs Manager, Shell Chemicals "Delving into a complex and uncertain area of communication, this insightful and thought-provoking book challenges many of the traditional beliefs about reputation management which are unsuited to the realities of the world of mass and almost-instant communication. A must-read for old hands and newcomers alike, it contains valuable lessons and guidance for all." Ivor M Godfrey-Davies, Head of Group Corporate Relations, HSBC Holdings Plc "In this challenging and thoughtful volume, Griffin advocates a 'call to change' which is definitely a better guide to most corporate travellers than the average SatNav!" Mike Love, Communications Director, BT PlcMore details
