Over the past few decades, the topic of reputation management has arisen as one of the most popular fields of study. Hence, investigating the main causes and consequences of reputation has also been of much interest for a great many academicians from various disciplines. However, among numerous variables used to determine the way reputation is perceived, the impacts of demographics seem to have been neglected. Therefore, in order to fill a gap deserving the attention of quantitative research, in this survey, which is an attempt to enhance the understanding of the way reputation is perceived by different individuals, we aimed at determining whether such demographical variables as age, gender, educational status and level of income have a significant effect on the way reputation is perceived. Consequently, it was found that some of the demographic variables were closely associated with the way reputation is perceived by different individuals.

Corporate social responsibility has been a densely researched area. Research paradigms have evolved significantly stamping from a sociological focus to a more business integrated framework and the currently growing emphasis on quantifying its performance. However, while much literatures champion the proponents of a proactive corporate social responsibility, the contributions of the more responsive version have been largely under studied. This is not an empirical paper. Far from it, this paper attempts to unveil the current literature gaps pertaining to responsive corporate social responsibility. This paper explores the intrinsic contributions of responsive corporate social responsibility on the moral discourse, organisational change and reputation management in an organisation. It theorises the concept of responsive corporate social responsibility as a moderator of external pressures, as a vector of a moral reboot in organisation change and a device for salvaging reputational damage in business organisations. This paper draws from the literature gaps between studies of normative morality and its interaction in principles of general management, organisational change concepts, branding and corporate reputation. It underwrites to examine the moral contents and discourse of business firms when faced with hostile externalities and studies the moral entrails in its organisational change processes and sequentially how this implicates the corporate reputation of a firm. This paper argues that the impacts of responsive corporate social responsibility and its ability to impact moral dispositions in business organisations deserve closer scrutiny. Study on the influence of responsive corporate social responsibility on organisation change and reputational salvage has similarly is also underscored. This article provides a theoretical review of the emerging gaps in corporate social responsibility and prompts that the concept of responsive social responsibility warrants closer attention.

It gives us great pleasure to present the 23rd issue of the magazine as a heterogeneous collection that brings together selected articles submitted in response to three different calls for contributions. On the one hand, we bring the volume focusing on media archaeology to a close with this second series of texts. The section on Digital Humanities also comprises an interesting series of contributions related to the 3rd Congress of the International Society of Hispanic Digital Humanities. The last section of this issue brings together another set of articles submitted in response to the magazine’s regular call for contributions, including different perspectives on issues that fall within the magazine’s scope of interest. All the sections and research contained here are unavoidably disparate from each other, yet, when taken as a whole, the reader will realise that there is a common thread throughout this issue, focusing on the impact of certain technologies have had on the way we view the past. The historical scope of technologies does not only operate in a single direction, but rather throughout time in its entirety.

Whilst online dating has been around for several years; immersive technologies are relatively new to this type of interaction. The first forays into immersive VR online dating have only just being made in the past year. To what degree this type of technology will change the way that we date is potentially quite different from the current way that online dates are conducted. The way the technology works could make virtual dates seem as real as a physical date. Understanding how immersive technology functions gives some insights into the future of online dating and also the impact on the digital economy.

This study aims to analyse the impact of the level of synergy in a multi-channel retailer and its end results on customer purchasing behaviour. A deductive approach was adopted by reviewing the past studies on implementation and goals of synergy. It led to a quantitative research model for evaluating the effects of inter-departmental synergy in the market. In order to measure the effect of this strategy on the Georgian customers, a questionnaire was distributed among 412 retail customers. The outcome indicated that the level of synergy positively relates to the frequency and monetary value spent by customers and negatively impacts the threat of pure online retailers as substitutes. The theoretical and managerial implications of the relationship are discussed.

The article presents the conceptualization of corporate reputation and its connection with related concepts of corporate identity and image. According to our research, the reputation is the result of established long-term collective judgments of stakeholders about the company, formed on the basis of its unique characteristics in order to ensure the competitiveness of the enterprise. The purpose of the present research is to develop an analysis of the relationship between competitiveness and corporate reputation on the example of a brewing company in Ukraine. The empirical component of the study is the analysis of the relationship between corporate reputation, according to the national rating on corporate reputation management, and enterprise competitiveness on the example of one of the leading companies in the Ukrainian brewing industry — Carlsberg Ukraine, which belongs to the Danish brewing group - Carlsberg Group. The assessment of the impact of corporate reputation rating on the competitiveness of enterprises was determined on the basis of the author's models of correlation-regression relationship. And for the analysis of reputation, the data of the Ukrainian national rating on quality of management of corporate reputation “Reputational Activists” were used. The results of the analysis allowed us to check the level of autocorrelation, determined using the Darbin-Watson test, which shows that autocorrelation is quite moderate. The pairwise correlation coefficient indicates an insufficiently close relationship between corporate reputation and enterprise competitiveness. According to calculations, the dynamics of the company's competitiveness can be explained by the dynamics of corporate reputation by 24.86%. Such results are evidence that corporate identity and corporate reputation have significant reserves of theoretical and practical nature of development and improvement to influence the efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises and products.

Since its early days, the Internet has been used by the music industry as a powerful marketing tool to promote artists and their products. Nevertheless, technology developments of the past ten years, and especially the ever-growing phenomenon of file sharing, have created the general impression that the Internet is responsible for a crisis within the industry, on the grounds that music piracy has become more serious than it has ever been. The purpose of this paper is to present the impact of new technologies and the Internet on the three main actors of the music industry: consumers, artists and record companies. It is claimed that the Internet has changed the way music is valued, and also, that it may have a direct effect on the quality of the music produced, as perceived by both artists and consumers alike.

 Most countries consist of many diverse races and cultures, based on historical political decisions, wars or economic changes. Throughout Europe over the past decades the policy of free movement for work as part of the EU agreements has encouraged this activity. Indeed this has been a fundamental idea behind the European Union ever since its inception. However, what can the consequences be for those individuals who, encouraged by such policies, find themselves located in a country which has decided to no longer be part of that system? In particular what impact does this decision appear to have on the way those considered to be “racially different” are treated by others? This article explores the impact the recent decision by Great Britain took to leave the EU (so called Brexit) and its impact upon the number of racially recorded hate crimes in Wales. Using examples from terrorist incidents in Europe, along with the Brexit result, as examples, it provides clear evidence that when certain incidents occur in wider society, there is an impact upon the way in which so called non-indigenous people are treated, which results in an increase in criminality. These results will have resonance for other countries with a mixed population, as well as having implications for those agencies involved in the protection and safety of all inhabitants in their country.

E-commerce is not only changing the way people transact». This article takes Jingdong Mall as an example to review the development trajectory of China’s e-commerce in the past two decades. Research shows that: the development of e-commerce is promoting the extension of industrial boundaries; driving the reform of the express delivery industry and even the logistics industry; reshaping the supply chain and the optimization process of supply chain management. At the same time, the development of e-commerce requires the support of more public infrastructures and puts forward higher requirements on the government’s market supervision capabilities.

The Roman preoccupation with the Alps as the tutamen of Italy owed its epistemic immediacy to a much more recent event—the Cimbric Wars (113-101 BCE). This traumatic episode had reawakened imagery of the northern enemies penetrating the “Wall of Italy,” which in some cases went all the way back to the Mid-Republican narrative traditions of the Gallic Invasions and the much more frequently debated shock of Hannibal’s invasion. The significance of this imagery continued even beyond the Augustan era, so that remnants of the same Roman insecurity about the “Wall of Italy” being breached, especially by northerners, are preserved in narratives about later Julio-Claudians such as Caligula and Nero. This article first looks at the likely origins of the idea of the Alps as the “Wall of Italy” in Middle-Republican perceptions, projected back onto the past and presenting Rome as predestined to dominate Italy and the Gauls in particular as external intruders in the peninsula. Next, the Late Republican and Augustan stages of the motif is reviewed, and the impact of the Cimbric Wars on this imagery is debated. Finally, there will be brief discussion of anecdotes found in Tacitus and Suetonius about later Julio-Claudian episodes in which the fear of a northern invasion breaching the Alps seem to have gripped the Romans.

In the past 50 years, there has been a burgeoning literature on the role of journalism in promoting governance and supporting anti-corruption efforts. Much of this comes from the work of economists and political scientists, and there is a lot for journalism studies scholars to learn from. The three disciplines grapple with many of the same questions; including the effects of journalism on society and journalists’ role as watchdogs and scarecrows. Economists are the boldest about establishing causality between journalism and governance, arguing that a free and open press can curb corruption and promote accountability. However, this is not always borne out in practice as modern technological and political developments have threatened journalism’s business model, especially in regions without a historically robust free press. Media capture continues to be a growing problem in places where government and business interests are aligned and seek to instrumentalize the media. Further quantitative research and exploration of the impediments to the functioning of a free media will help our understanding of the contemporary problems facing journalists and how they can be solved in order to improve governance across the world. There is much more to be learned about the impact of journalism on governance and studies on this topic should not only cross disciplines but must also be decolonialized so that the field has more information on how the media contributes, or not, to governance in the Global South and in the different media systems outlined by Hallin and Mancini as well as the updated analysis of Efrat Nechushtai.
