Impact of reputational loss on financial performance of the bank

Abstract

Purpose – the purpose of the article is to identify the criteria influencing on the reputational performance of a financial organisation and recognise the impact of reputation on the activities of a financial institution. Research methodology – to estimate the reputational impact on a financial organisation an interview with experts was conducted. In order to process the received data SAW, COPRAS and geometric mean methods were used. The mentioned methods were applied for performance measurement to ensure the inclusion of the reputation-sensitive data. Findings – the weakest position of the financial company in terms of reputational condition implies decreased efficiency of its performance. The degree of reputation and the impact of repercussions on the organisation’s performance can be further measured through financial analysis. Research limitations – the financial organisation analysed in the current study does not provide services for local clients, hence there is no possibility to obtain primary data from direct interactors. Practical implications – the research results provide insight towards key areas to look on while conducting root-cause analysis for decrease of financial performance; reputational impact measurement model can be used for further planning processes related to the future repercussions prevention. Originality/Value – literature overview results prove that it is still argued over the way reputational impact could be measured due to the fact that organizational reputation is attributed to a long-term intangible asset which is sensitive towards the subjectivity of the analysed matter. While it is usual to measure the reputation from the clients’ perspective, the research on reputation impact relies on the particular statistical data on company’s condition in the market.
