“…Because such an association deviates from the norms (i.e., not everyone has been a SEAL), part of what an individual is known for may emanate from this. Therefore, part of the reputation of the individual is based upon such associations and these associations often add credibility to the individual (Vedder & Wachbroit, 2003).…”

Personal reputation and the organization. J ournal of Management and Organization, 21, 217-236. doi: 10.1017/jmo.2014.76 REPUTATION AND THE ORGANIZATION 2 Abstract Drawing from fields such as marketing psychology, strategy, social psychology, and organizational behavior, the present examination explores the individual and organizational bases for personal reputation; specifically, how different bases interact with one another to produce an individual's reputation within organizations. It is proposed that individuals use personal reputations to satisfy their need for positive self-esteem as well as to secure their sense of belonging in organizations. Furthermore, reputation allows individuals to obtain rewards such as autonomy, power, and career success and the opportunity to signal key information to audiences. Likewise, organizations utilize personal reputations to predict their members' behaviors, market those who are a part of the organization to others, build their own corporate reputations, and signal information to consumers and competitors. To further this understanding of personal reputation an examination is presented as to how organizations serve as an essential context within which individuals realize their personal reputations and regulate their behavior.

“…Those Web sites with good reputations for providing credible information receive more hyperlinks, which in turn increases the site's visibility and the influence of the site's content. Hyperlinking is an act that confers trust in the reliability of the information being linked to and the credibility of the organization providing that content (Briggs et al 2002;Vedder and Wachbroit 2003;Wang and Emurian 2005). For example, if a government Web site provides a link to an international organization then the acknowledgement of that institution combined with the act of conferring trust in the information they provide constitutes a measure of influence (McNutt and Marchildon 2009).…”

Public sector reform is a key policy area, driven by global public policy networks. Research on these networks has been inductive, highlighting organizations like the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This article examines "virtual policy networks" (VPNs) on the Web. Using IssueCrawler, we conduct a hyperlink analysis that permits us to map seven VPNs. The first network mapped the hyperlinks of 91 organizations identified through inductive methods. The hypothesis that the virtual network would include all actors identified in the inductive approach was refuted. The other six networks focused on: market mechanisms, open government, performance, public employment, reform, and restructuring. Among the findings, the U.S. government is prominent in the first three, while international organizations dominate the others. VPN rankings show that the World Bank dominates the OECD. When the inductive research is blended with the VPN research, the OECD's prominence increases, and we see the importance of market mechanisms and reform VPNs as pillars of globalization.

Este artigo analisa a estrutura, o conteúdo e o tipo de informação divulgada em um Website especializado na cadeia produtiva do leite. Para este estudo, escolheu-se o portal Milkpoint, criado e explorado comercialmente pela AgriPoint Consultoria Ltda., desde 2001, com o propósito de contribuir para a formação do moderno produtor de leite, fundamentalmente, por meio da oferta da informação necessária à sua evolução. O estudo é de natureza exploratória e qualitativa. Entre os resultados, o estudo postula que o conteúdo existente no portal é predominantemente escrito, necessitando de um melhor tratamento da informação, tanto no aspecto gráfico como estético, bem como pela necessidade do uso eficiente da linguagem multimídia e hipertextual, que é própria da Web. Palavras-chave: World Wide Web (Web). Cadeia produtiva do leite. Divulgação científica. AbstractThis article analyzes the structure, content and type of information disclosed in a Website specializing in milk production chain. For this study, was chosen the Milkpoint Portal, created and exploited commercially Agripoint Consultoria Ltda., since 2001, with the aim of contributing to the formation of the modern milk producer, fundamentally through the provision of information to its evolution. The study is exploratory and qualitative. Among the results, the study postulates that the content in the portal is predominantly written, requiring better information processing, both in the graphic and aesthetic aspects, as well as the need for efficient use of multimedia language and hypertext, which is itself the Web. Keywords: World Wide Web (Web). Milk production chain. Science communication. IntroduçãoO período de intensas transformações na dinâmica social e econômica constitui o marco da chamada Sociedade da Informação, na qual, as novas condições tecnológicas anunciam a breve superação da era industrial. A geração, o processamento e a transmissão de informação constituem uma base fundamental para o desenvolvimento científico, tecnológico e social e, de maneira prática, são, também, imprescindíveis à tomada de decisão em todas as esferas da sociedade.
