A survey of current literature and corporate identity manuals may create the impression that corporate identity consists solely of visual identity cues. In this paper the view is explored that corporate identity consists of both visual and behavioural cues. Most corporations strive towards a positive corporate image. This can be attained only by taking into account also such aspects as customer service and employee behaviour, and not just creating attractive buildings, uniforms, logos and slogans. An analysis of selected literature and the results of four independent studies are reported to support the proposal of a Corporate Image Model that needs further research and refinement.

Current operating practices of small businesses indicate that more time is devoted to the cosmetic side of corporate identity than managing service delivery. The main argument pursued in this paper is based on the view that both visual and behavioural corporate identity cues create impressions in the minds of corporate publics to form an overall corporate image. A set of bipolar adjectives was therefore used to test various visual, behavioural and core product elements of restaurant corporate image. A key finding was made that the joint customer service and employee dimension, was rated as the most important factor in the choice of fast food restaurants, which confirms that corporate image is created by visual and behavioural identity.

Nowadays, the development of an effective corporate image model is a topical issue. Under increasing competition in many economic spheres, forming the company’s reputation and meeting the growing needs of consumers are especially noteworthy. The purpose of the article is to develop a set of marketing measures that would contribute to the formation of a positive corporate image of business entities and support it in the long run. The relationship between the research subject and the consumer needs is highlighted. The article deals with the features of behavioral economics and general approaches to shaping the corporate image. It is proposed that business entities should take into account five target segments, including clients, suppliers, shareholders, employees, and intermediaries when forming a positive corporate image. It is noted that each of these subjects is an “econ” who does not make rationalistic decisions, but places emphasis on spontaneity and emotionality. It is also noted that it is difficult to predict the situation of forming a positive corporate image of business entities. The results of this article can be used in further research and taken into account when creating a corporate image of an enterprise.

Šiandien vargu ar atsirastų organizacija, abejojanti korporatyvinės reputacijos svarba. Tačiau iki šiol nėra bendro korporatyvinės reputacijos apibrėžimo. Požiūrių įvairovė turi savo pranašumų ir trūkumų: viena, tai leidžia korporatyvinės reputacijos sąvoką interpretuoti savaip, kita, tampa sudėtinga susigaudyti esamos informacijos kiekyje. Reputacija dažniausiai siejama ir / ar tapatinama su korporatyviniu įvaizdžiu ir korporatyviniu identitetu. Straipsnyje analizuojama korporatyvinio identiteto, korporatyvinio įvaizdžio ir korporatyvinės reputacijos sąvokos, jų panašumai ir skirtumai. Remiantis atlikta mokslinės literatūros analize, įvairių autorių pastabomis ir apibrėžimais, šiame darbe korporatyvinė reputacija suprantama kaip per tam tikrą laiką tarp suinteresuotojų susiformavusi, nusistovėjusi ir viešai perduodama nuomonė apie organizacijos veiklą, bruožus, rezultatus, vertybes, savybes ir pan., nusakanti galimą organizacijos elgseną ateityje ir parodanti organizacijos patikimumo, pripažinimo, pagarbos ir palankumo jai lygį. Kiekviena organizacija, neatsižvelgiant į jos profilį, tipą, sektorių ir dydį, privalo rūpintis savo suinteresuotaisiais ir palaikyti efektyvią komunikaciją su jais. Korporatyvinės reputacijos formavimas – ilgalaikis procesas, kuris duoda daug naudos organizacijai, tačiau dėl netinkamo elgesio gali būti sužlugdytas per labai trumpą laiką. Pagrindiniai teigiamos korporatyvinės reputacijos pranašumai ir nauda organizacijai yra pristatomi straipsnyje.Šio straipsnio tikslas – pristatyti viešojo sektoriaus organizacijų korporatyvinės reputacijos formavimo principus. Išanalizavus ir apibendrinus įvairių autorių siūlomus korporatyvinės reputacijos formavimo elementus ir modelius, darbe išskiriami esminiai korporatyvinės reputacijos formavimo elementai – korporatyvinis identitetas ir korporatyvinis įvaizdis. Svarbu pabrėžti, kad, be šių elementų, organizacijos turi kreipti dėmesį į politinę, ekonominę, socialinę ir technologinę aplinką bei teikti kokybiškas paslaugas. Taip galima pelnyti suinteresuotųjų pasitikėjimą.Korporatyvinės reputacijos formavimo principai straipsnyje išsamiai aprašyti ir pristatyti. Atkreipiamas dėmesys į pasikeitusį organizacijos suinteresuotųjų, kurie ir suformuoja teigiamą arba neigiamą korporatyvinę reputaciją, vaidmenį.

For a long time, corporate identity, corporate image and corporate reputation have been studied from a number of academic perspectives, due to their intangibility and their significant role in gaining an organization's competitive advantages. Recent business circumstances (for example, the economic downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemy) bring new challenges for companies and their long-term survival. The aim of this paper is to review the constructs of corporate identity, corporate image and corporate reputation, and, thus, to remove or reduce the misunderstanding of the three constructs in the relevant literature. After a thorough theoretical review, some influential conceptual models were examined, pointing out the role of communication in the whole process of corporate marketing.

Purpose This paper aims to present the concept of Interactive Network Branding (INB) in business markets. The INB conceptualization offers an understanding of corporate branding processes as an inherent part of business networking. More specifically, the paper focuses on the importance of INB for firms that are developing their roles and positions in business networks. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual paper reviews the extant literature on corporate branding in conjunction with business network research. This perspective adds to the current knowledge of business marketing by proposing a theoretical framework of INB. Findings The conceptualization of INB offers a specific network lens on corporate branding by presenting three INB dimensions. The first dimension deals with corporate identity; the second dimension deals with corporate reputation; the third, mutual INB dimension, presents an “interactive space” where branding and networking collide. These three dimensions are enacted by individuals acting on behalf of their companies, as key implementers of INB processes. Through the INB, strategic roles and positions of firms embedded in their business networks are formed. Research limitations/implications The paper contributes to current literature on business network research that has left a corporate brand perspective almost unnoticed. The INB concept also offers an extension to current literature on corporate branding, which has to date neglected business relationships and networking issues. Being strongly conceptual, the paper notes that empirical research is needed for observing the role of INB in real-life business encounters. Practical implications This study provides novel ideas and implications for firm representatives responsible for branding and relationship development in business networks. It denotes the critical role of individuals and their interactions with other individuals, which influences the development of specific network roles and positions for connected business entities. Originality/value The used multidisciplinary approach provides a conceptual platform to study branding processes in business networks. By offering a network perspective to corporate branding, new and relevant implications for both theory and practice are fore fronted.
