Key Concepts in Marketing Jim Blythe Spin-doctoring is a process of putting a good face on unacceptable facts, whereas managing reputation is a process of ensuring that the facts themselves are acceptable, differentiates Jim Blythe in Key Concepts in Marketing ( www.sagepublications.com).

This means being aware of what is happening at the boundaries between the organisation and its stakeholders, with a view to improving the interactions between the organisation and stakeholders.”Organisations acquire reputations rather than develop them, observes Blythe. “In practice managers are unlikely to create a reputation from scratch – they are much more likely to adjust the organisation’s existing reputation to make it more attractive to some people, or communicate it better to the stakeholders.” Suggested study.
