Definitions create the lenses through which we look at the world. The renowned psychologist, Abraham Maslow said that if the only thing you have is a hammer, you tend to treat everything as a nail.
The classic definition is that Reputation is all that is generally believed about your character, respectability, credit, integrity or notoriety. (Latin: reputatio – reckoning).

Definitions that give it
more meaning:
Reputation is a state of mind – A Set of memories,
perceptions and opinions that sits in your
stakeholders’ consciousness.
Reputation is the net result of the interactions of
all the experiences, impressions, beliefs, feelings and
knowledge all stakeholders have about a company.

So what then is Reputation Management?
It is essentially a consulting discipline that realizes
that Reputation is both an asset and a risk.
Reputation Management is the building, sustaining,
and protection of an organization’s good name,
generating positive feedback from stakeholders and
resulting in the attainment of strategic and financial
objectives.
It implies that there is a definite financial link
between the work we do in reputation management
and the bottom line.

Definition 1: (Stakeholder Perspective)
Reputational Risk emerges when the reasonable
expectations of stakeholders about an
organization‘s performance and behavior are not
met. This has been listed in some surveys as the
most dangerous reputation risk of all.
It essentially involves taking a look at each
stakeholders needs and expectations, matching
the drivers of an organization reputation and
minimizing the gaps that exist.

Definition 2: (Asset Perspective)
Some studies show that Reputation makes up
between 55 – 73% of a company’s asset value.
Reputational Risk is defined as the loss of
earnings that occur in a situation of negative
public opinion. It normally results in loss of
sales, share value decreases and breakdown of
relationships.
Many a crises have led to stock price decreases
and impact in other areas of the business.

Definition 3: (Incident Perspective)
Reputational Risk is the exposure incurred from
unexpected incidents, or from unanticipated
response to the institution's initiatives, actions or
day-to-day activities.
This definition implies that Reputation Risk is the
risk that an activity, action or stance performed or
taken by a company or its officials will impair its
image in the community and/or the long-term
trust placed in the organization by its
stakeholders, resulting in the loss of business
and/or legal action, and is closely linked with the
asset perspective.
