The management of reputation inevitably requires measurement. However, the object, methodology, underlying research interest and further use of measurement findings may vary. This part provides an insight into the various aspects of measurement and its relevance for reputation management. It closes with a meta-study examining the financial impacts of reputation as measured by several researchers.
Liehr and Storck open with an introduction on how reputation can be measured in general. The paper stresses out the range of methods existing for both media evaluation and stakeholder research. The authors systematically list which cognitions the various methods are able to provide. The closing presentation of the “Barcelona Declaration of Measurement Principles” introduces the reader to the state-of-the-art...
In the second chapter, Helm and Klode describe the “Challenges in Measuring Corporate Reputation” which most communication professionals should be aware of when selecting a measurement tool.

In a second part,...

Dowling and Weeks recapitulate the reasons for analysing media coverage, give hands-on suggestions for an effective presentation of the media analysis and explain which action steps should be derived from its findings.

Combined with traditional segmentation techniques, important insights for a differentiated marketing planning can be gained.
Apart from stakeholder research, examinations on the financial impact of corporate reputation are a major field of interest within the communication community. De Quevedo Puente, Delgado García, and de la Fuente Sabaté close this chapter with a meta-analysis of studies on this issue. They systematically describe previous findings concerning the impact on corporate profitability, risk, and market value...
