Reputational Risk as a Logic of Organizing in Late Modernity
提出声誉风险已成为一种普遍的组织逻辑，并以英国大学为例，说明风险管理从技术分析扩展到治理基石，导致组织更关注外部评价和排名，从而改变实践并加剧对声誉风险的普遍担忧。
This paper argues that it is useful to regard `reputational risk' as a pervasive logic of organizing and organizational attention. First, we suggest that the risk management agenda has expanded from its roots in technical analysis to become a cornerstone of good governance and responsible actorhood. We illustrate this claim in the context of English universities. Second, we suggest that this expansion in the reach and significance of risk management has increased organizational orientations to reputational risk and to more defensively and legalistically framed forms of asset management. Specifically, organizations are responding to the growth of external bodies which evaluate and rank, and thereby generate reputational risk. In the context of universities, we argue that this leads both to specific transformations in organizational practices in response to ranking systems, and also to an increased generalized concern with reputational risk, which is a symptom of late modern insecurity.
