Opis

Corporate leaders acknowledge that reputation is their most important asset. But, is reputation properly understood, proactively managed and protected from potentially damaging issues and crises? Andrew Griffin looks at where the risks to reputation come from and shows how organizations can predict, prevent and prepare. He provides guidance on how to devise issue-resolution strategies, respond to fast-moving crises and recover reputation. Drawing on a diverse range of case studies the book provides practical advice as well as insight and analysis.

An experienced specialist in strategy and crisis management, Griffin argues that crises and issues need careful communication strategies, but also creative decision-making, effective team-work, and decisive leadership.

Crisis, Issues and Reputation Management defines reputation, explores how to value it and provides practical guidelines for effective reputation management, including how to approach issues of Corporate Social Responsibility. Practical and accessible, it outlines a comprehensive approach to managing situations that may turn into crises and handling crises once they occur. Featuring a wide range of international case studies of brands who have had to respond to a variety of crises including Nestle, Unilever, General Electric, McDonalds, Coca-cola, Cadbury, Tesco, Pan Am, RBS and more, Crisis, Issues and Reputation Management demonstrates how organizations have to understand and respond rapidly to shifting public values, rising expectations, demands for public consultation and increasingly intrusive news media. As such, it provides a new and broader perspective on the topic for new and seasoned practitioners alike.
