Experts at Wharton say the success of a corporte reputation reclamation project depends on the company's image when a crisis hits.
Thomas Donaldson, Wharton Professor of legal studies and business ethics says "The starting point matters a lot. The old saying that a reputation takes years to accumulate, but can be destroyed overnight, is only half true. If you have a good reputation, you are given the benefit of doubt. If a company has a bad reputation, it gets the detriment of the doubt."
