P.S.The 2009 Global Reputation Pulse Project was conducted in 32 countries.

The Global Reputation Pulse is a measure of corporate reputation calculated by averaging perceptions of trust, esteem, admiration, and good feeling.

Reputation Institute overcomes cross-cultural biases by adjusting all Global Reputation Pulse scores against the aggregate distribution. Standardization has the effect of lowering scores in countries that tend to over-rate companies, and has the effect of raising scores for companies in countries that tend to rate companies more harshly. All Global Reputation Pulse results are therefore comparable across industries, countries, and over time.
