1st Symposium of The Reputation Research Centre

If you would like to attend this event, please register by sending an email to gberens@rsm.nl.

The goal of this first symposium of the Reputation Research Centre is to gather top scholars with an interest in corporate reputation and closely related constructs (such as status, image, legitimacy, and trust) to present and discuss in an informal setting the research they are working on. We are honored that prof. Kimberly Elsbach (U. of California, Davis), one of the world’s most eminent scholars in the field of reputation management, has agreed to deliver a keynote speech at the symposium.
