Does a Good Reputation Protect Against Reputational Damage?
• Benjamin Franklin: “It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.”
• Donaldson: “The old saw 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 the doubt. If a company has a bad reputation, it gets the detriment of the doubt.”
A Good reputation might help in 3 ways when bad things happen:
1. The reputational capital hypothesis.
2. The shield hypothesis.
3. The benefit-of-the-doubt hypothesis.
