• Reputation:
- Is the overall assessment of an organization by its stakeholders (van Riel & Fombrun,
2007)
- It represents the emotional reaction (good, bad, weak or strong) of customers, investors,
employees, and the public (Fombrun, 1996)

people management and responsibility

coordination of all internal and external communication with the overall purpose of establishing
and maintaining favorable reputation with stakeholder groups upon which the organization is

Strategic management: two views
• The input-output model
- Theory à Neo-Classical Economic
- Main objective à Maximize profits
- Het stabiel blijven en maximale winst maken
- Assumes that the value of the organization is a pie, and that only the interests of those
who own a slice should matter
- That is why the input-output model is also called the share-holder model
- Je richten op dingen zoals duurzaamheid etc. zou je alleen maar afleiden van het doel
dat je hebt: zoveel mogelijk verkopen

, • The stakeholder model
- Theory à Socio-economic
- Main objective à Mediate between interests
- Geen winst meer maken, meer zorgen voor medewerkers en klanten, etc.
- Mediëren tussen iedereen die betrokken is bij de organisatie
- In dit geval is het focussen op bijvoorbeeld duurzaamheid een aanvulling op hoeveel je
verkoopt: je focust je op alles wat beter kan worden voor de klant en andere stakeholders
Stakeholder value model

Stakeholder model
