After falling to unforeseen lows amidst scandals, recalls and selfinflicted demonization economic crises, the American public's positive perception of the reputation of corporate America is on the rise.
Press Release: Google Ranks Highest on Corporate Reputation in 12th Annual Harris Interactive U.S. Reputation Quotient® (RQ®) Survey
The top ten companies on this year's list:
1) Google (GOOG)
2) Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)
3) 3M Company (MMM)
4) Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa)
5) Apple (AAPL)
6) Intel Corporation (INTC)
7) Kraft Foods (KFT)
8) amazon.com (AMZN)
9) General Mills (GIS)
10) The Walt Disney Company (DIS)
As a sector, technology companies are perceived the most favorably. The fact that Apple was not ranked even higher seems a surprise.
Six other companies received scores indicating an excellent reputation.
Procter & Gamble (PG)
SC Johnson
UPS (UPS)
Sony (SNE)
Coca-Cola Company (KO)
Microsoft (MSFT)
Below BP?
Not an easy thing to accomplish less than a year after the big spill.
J.P. Morgan (JPM): # 52
Bank of America (BAC): # 55
Citigroup (C): # 57
Goldman Sachs (GS): # 58
AIG (AIG): # 60
So the leaders at some of the largest financial institutions have work to do whether they think the reputation is deserved or not. The fact that financial services firms "dominate" the bottom of the rankings makes sense after a mostly self-inflicted near systemic meltdown.
Still, in the long run a banking system perceived this way isn't good for anyone. At a minimum we're going to always need trusted, utility-like banking.
With assistance from behavior at some of the larger financial firms in recent years, Comcast is not ranked among the bottom ten in reputation.
They're in the bottom eleven.
Well played, Comcast.
