Present Setting

ABSTRACT Agents need to be motivated to develop ideas and to share information regarding their potential value. When the agents fail to agree on which alternative to implement, the principal needs to decide how to resolve the disagreement. When the agents’ information is soft, favoring one of the agents in the case of disagreement is always optimal in the present setting. In contrast, if the information is hard, a balanced treatment of the agents is preferred to encourage competition. The reason for the difference is the high cost of sustaining both informative communication and effort in a balanced organization.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the different approaches to the corporate reputation construct, in order to identify a comprehensive definition that can be used for measurement purposes, gaps identified by previous literature identified. Design/methodology/approach This is a theoretical essay. The authors analyzed studies that involve the relationship between corporate reputation and organizational performance, and the attributes of national and international corporate reputation ratings. Findings The authors identified a more comprehensive definition for the reputation construct, and indicated courses for the construct’s measurement, by considering: the judgment by the stakeholders (internal, suppliers, clients and the financial market); periodical evaluations under different organizational perspectives; attention to theoretical assumptions, among other aspects. Research limitations/implications The study is a theoretical paper that presents that the research field has many definitions that cannot be used interchangeably. It indicated how the reputation construct should be operationalized for measurement purposes. This study presented a reflection on the relationship between corporate reputation and performance, showing that it is not a settled topic in the academy. Practical implications The study advances the understanding of the reputation construct measurement, considering the adopted definition and the discussion of the attributes of the main ratings on corporate reputation. The adoption of a measurement method that takes into account the definition used in this study and the features of the methodologies discussed will improve the corporate reputation assessment. Social implications Literature indicates that a good corporate reputation can affect organizational performance and the inverse relationship is also true. As a social implication, it is extremely relevant to improve the understanding the definition and measurement methods of this construct. Originality/value This study discusses one of the most important intangible resources for organizations, contributing to the understanding of the difference between the market value and the book value of public companies. Besides it should be considered that there is one lack of a definition directly related to the measurement of the reputation construct in the literature, a gap in which this study contributes.

Background: This study examined the differences between faculty and trained standardized patient (SP) evaluations on student professionalism during a second-year podiatric medicine standardized simulated patient encounter. Methods: Forty-nine second-year podiatric medicine students were evaluated for their professionalism behavior. Eleven SPs performed an assessment in real-time, and one faculty member performed a secondary assessment after observing a videotape of the encounter. Five domains were chosen for evaluation from a validated professionalism assessment tool. Results: Significant differences were identified in the professionalism domains of “build a relationship” (P = .008), “gather information” (P = .001), and share information (P = .002), where the faculty scored the students higher than the SP for 24.5%, 18.9%, and 26.5% of the cases, respectively. In addition, the faculty scores were higher than the SP scores in all of the “gather information” subdomains; however, the difference in scores was significant only in the “question appropriately” (P = .001) and “listen and clarify” (P = .003) subdomains. Conclusions: This study showed that professionalism scores for second-year podiatric medical students during a simulated patient encounter varied significantly between faculty and SPs. Further consideration needs to be given to determine the source of these differences.

The Difference

Talent management is a new concept in the scientific literature, but not in the practitioner arena. In this sense, this chapter underlines the powerful perspective of talent management integrating practices from organizations and providing a scientific approach. Some previous results from different research are expressed in relation to strategy and organizational performance. Talent Management is clearly a concept close to high performance work system, with the difference of a more strategic approach. More than practices are goals for the organization to achieve excellence at work. So Talent Management is clearly linked with a strategic approach to the organization in order to attract, develop, evaluate, and retain professionals with high capacities.

The difference is based on the age difference of MIP students who are more mature than FISIPOL students so that their perceptions about sharing information are wiser, but the motivation of FISIPOL students is higher because sharing information is not only for formal matters but also for informal matters such as finding one's reputation and pursuing prizes.Conclusion: Digital natives' perception in sharing information on social media is sharing information because it is seen to be beneficial to other individuals, sharing information is fun and can invite others to jointly understand and discuss together the latest information.

Share Information

Social media which initially only functioned as a medium to expand friendships and share one's daily activities, is now starting to turn into a platform used by many companies to share information and carry out marketing activities. One of the marketing strategies carried out by the company through social media is to use the services of an endorser to promote its products through the endorser's personal social media account. There are three types of endorsers studied in this study, namely celebrity endorsers, influencer endorsers, and online customer reviewers, each of which has its own advantages. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the difference or comparison of the influence of the credibility of the three types of endorsers above on consumer buying interest in the same product. The products used in this study are skincare products. This research was conducted using purposive sampling method by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents for each type of questionnaire based on different types of endorsers so that a total of 300 respondents were obtained. The collected data was then processed using PLS-SEM as a whole and PLS-MGA to test the effect of moderation. The results obtained in this study are that an influencer endorser has the highest moderating effect among other types of endorsers on the relationship between endorser's credibility towards attitude toward the ad and attitude toward the brand. Meanwhile, the differences between these three types of endorsers do not have a moderating effect on the relationship between endorser's credibility, attitude toward the ad, and attitude toward the brand towards purchase intention.

Market Needs

Firms that clearly understand their mandate are more easily able to understand their customers and hence are in a better position to create products that correctly fit in with the market needs and withstand competition. Most firms in the same industry operate under similar environments, however, the ability of a firm to understand its surroundings and take up the opportunities around it and at the same time minimize its threats within certain acceptable time limits, brings out to a large extent the difference between performance of one firm and the other in a similar industry.  This study was anchored on the competitive theory as advanced by Michael Porter. A descriptive approach was used by explaining the data and characteristics of the population being studied.  The study targeted a total of 64 respondents. This study did not sample the tier two commercial banks because they are few and hence a census was adopted. A pilot test on 8 employees was consequently carried out before this study. The respondents agreed that tier two banks strive to be competitive in the market and employees are encouraged to implement new ideas. The study concluded that absorptive capability has a significant contribution to performance of tier two banks. The study also recommended that banks should enhance customer retention to build their customer base.
