托福阅读素材之品牌声誉经营

2015-01-15 17:49:23来源:网络

  然而,甚至在Buzz事件引发众怒之前,谷歌大厦便已出现了裂痕。进军中国市场的决定给谷歌的声誉造成了冲击——谷歌最初接受了中国政府对搜索结果进行审查的要求,但在今年1月被迫放弃,并将用户重新链接至香港的站点(最近为了申请延长其在中国的ICP牌照,谷歌不再把中国内地用户自动转往其香港站点——编者注)。观察人士怀疑最初进军中国的决定是否损害了谷歌的创始价值观:用其非官方的座右铭总结就是“不做恶”。

  Google, of course, is not the only brand to have seen its reputation suffer recently. The public image of Goldman Sachs, the investment bank, has suffered in the wake of the credit crunch with a famous article in Rolling Stone magazine describing the organisation as a "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity". BPis widely perceived to have compounded the damage done to its image by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico through a poor public relations and crisis management strategy in its aftermath.

  当然,谷歌不是最近声名受损的惟一品牌。信贷危机爆发后,投资银行高盛(Goldman Sachs)的公众形象也受到了损害,《滚石》(Rolling Stone)杂志上一篇著名的文章将该公司描述为“缠绕在人性面孔上的巨大吸血乌贼”。而外界广泛认为,英国石油(BP)事后不力的公共关系和危机管理战略,进一步加重了墨西哥湾原油泄漏事件对其形象的损害。

  What affects reputations in turn affects brands. It is too soon to say how badly the Goldman Sachs and BP brands will be affected but it seems certain that they will be. And what all of these examples highlight is how hard it is to manage reputations.

  影响声誉的事情反过来也会影响到品牌。要判断高盛和英国石油的品牌会受到多么严重的冲击,现在还为时过早,但冲击似乎已不可避免。这些例子都突显出管理声誉有多么困难。

  Rohit Deshpandé, professor of marketing at Harvard Business School, says the pressures to grow mean that some businesses, and start-ups in particular, forget to adapt their strategies as they become bigger. "When you are growing, your focus is on growing rapidly and you tend to be opportunistic about growth," he says. "You are not thinking about the vision and strategy. You are doing everything, so you have no time to sit back and think about things."

  哈佛商学院(HBS)营销学教授罗希特•德什潘德(Rohit Deshpandé)表示,增长的压力会让部分企业(尤其是初创企业)在发展壮大时忘记调整自己的战略。“在发展阶段,你的关注重点是迅速成长,对于发展往往抱着机会主义心态,”他说。“你没有考虑到愿景和战略。你什么事都要做,所以没有时间坐下来想事情。”

  In other cases, companies lose sight of the core values that define their brand. "Brands are attitudes and perceptions in customers' minds,"
