Managing Reputational Risk

REPUTATION and Its Risks.
By: Eccles, Robert G., Newquist, Scott C., Schatz, Roland,
Harvard Business Review,
Feb 2007, Vol. 85, Issue 2

Recognize that reputational risk is a distinct category of risk and give one person unambiguous responsibility for managing it. This person can then identify all the parts of the organization whose activities can affect or pose risks to its overall reputation and enhance the coordination among its functions and units. The improvements in decision making will undoubtedly result in a better-run company overall.
