本文认为，它是有用的，把“声誉风险”作为一个普遍的逻辑组织和组织的关注。首先，我们认为，风险管理议程已经从其技术分析的根源扩展到成为良好治理和负责任行为的基石。我们在英国大学的背景下说明了这一主张。第二，我们认为，风险管理的范围和重要性的扩大增加了组织对声誉风险和更具防御性和法律框架的资产管理形式的导向。具体来说，组织正在应对评估和排名的外部机构的增长，从而产生声誉风险。在大学的背景下，我们认为，这导致了具体的组织实践中的排名系统的转变，也增加了对声誉风险的普遍关注，这是现代后期不安全的症状。
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.
