Summary

The Corporate Reputation Quotient of Harris-Fombrun is a comprehensive measuring method of corporate reputation that was created specifically to capture the perceptions of any corporate stakeholder group such as consumers, investors, employees, or key influencers. The instrument enables research on the drivers of a company's reputation, and allows to compare reputations both within and across industries.


Six drivers of the Corporate Reputation Quotient

This business reputation model has the following 6 drivers of corporate reputation with subsequent 20 attributes:


Emotional Appeal

- good feeling about the company

- admire and respect the company

- trust the company

Products and Services

- company believes in its products and services

- company offers high quality products and services

- appears a low risk investment

- strong prospects for future growth

- tends to outperform its competitors

Social Responsibility

Making random checks, these criteria taken together result in lists of most reputable and/or visible companies.
