Abstract

This study examines competing measurement models of the Fortune reputation data and argues that, for research purposes, its usefullness is limited to measuring the extent to which a firm is perceived as striving for financial goals. The generalizability of this conclusion is evaluated and past research studies purporting to have measured other constructs ( e.g., social responsibility, quality, stakeholder orientation ) are revisited.
