Reputation ratings

In collaboration with Harris Interactive, Reputation Institute developed Reputation Quotient (RQ) in 1999.^[10]^[11] In 2005, Reputation Institute developed the RepTrak model to replace RQ. As of 2016, RepTrak studies are conducted annually.^[10]^[12] RepTrak analyzes corporate reputation using measures in seven dimensions: "products and services," "innovation," "workplace," "governance," "citizenship," "leadership," and "performance."^[11]^[13]^[14] The company also publishes Country RepTrak which ranks the reputations of nations using three criteria: "appealing environment," "advanced economy," and "effective government."^[15]
