RepTrak (formerly known as Reputation Institute) [1] is a company that publishes reports on the reputation of corporations [2] [3] and places, [4] based on consumer surveys and media coverage. It is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. [5]

History

In 1999, Charles Fombrun, a professor at New York University Stern School of Business, and Cees van Riel, a professor at Rotterdam School of Management, founded Reputation Institute. [6] [7] [8]

In early 2020, the company changed its name to RepTrak. [1]

In early 2023, Mark Sonders became the CEO. [9]

Reputation ratings

In collaboration with Harris Interactive, Reputation Institute developed Reputation Quotient (RQ) in 1999. [10] [11] In 2005, Reputation Institute developed the RepTrak model to replace RQ. As of 2016, RepTrak studies are conducted annually. [10] [12] RepTrak analyzes corporate reputation using measures in seven dimensions: "products and services," "innovation," "workplace," "governance," "citizenship," "leadership," and "performance." [11] [13] [14] The company also publishes Country RepTrak which ranks the reputations of nations using three criteria: "appealing environment," "advanced economy," and "effective government." [15]
