This Oxford Handbook of Organisational Social Evaluations provides a state-of-the-art critical review of recent conceptual and empirical research on organisational social evaluations, focused on how organisations specifically manage legitimacy, status, reputation, stigma, trust, and celebrity. These social evaluations matter because intangible assets now account for over 85% of corporate value, and the way in which organisations are perceived across these different concepts form a critical component of their licence to operate.

This major new reference volume features chapters from leading scholars across the world as well as captures insights from different academic disciplines. It also includes chapters from business leaders who provide sharp insights into how these concepts exhibit themselves in practice. The structure captures a deep dive into each concept as well as a set of essays showing how they interrelate and interact with each other. Altogether, the volume serves as a reference for social evaluations scholars, students of business, and organisational leaders globally.

Rupert Younger is the founder and director of Oxford University's Centre for Corporate Reputation and co-author of three books-The Reputation Game, The Activist Manifesto and Forked Tongues-and various academic articles and book chapters. He is a member of the Senior Common Rooms at Worcester College Oxford and St Antony's College Oxford. His views are regularly featured in major news outlets including the BBC, CNN, the Financial Times, and The Wall Street Journal. He co-founded FGS Global in 1994, is an ambassador for the international mine clearance charity The HALO Trust, and was appointed by HM Queen Elizabeth II as her High Sheriff of Hampshire for 2013-14. Anastasiya Zavyalova is an Associate Professor of strategic management and an Associate Dean for degree programs at the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business, Rice University; an International Research Fellow at the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation; and an Associate Editor at the Academy of Management Review. She received her Ph.D. in strategic management from the University of Maryland, Robert H. Smith School of Business. Her research focuses on socially responsible and irresponsible organisational actions that build, damage, and restore organisational social evaluations.
