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 reference volume 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.
