Dissertation title
The Role of Infomediaries in Managing Social Approval of Organizations Following Disruptions
Dissertation Summary
In my three-essay dissertation I explore the role of reputation (rankings), media reputation (characteristics of media reports about firms they cover), and information subsidies (press releases from firms) in predicting organizational outcomes. I test developed hypotheses on a sample of U.S. colleges and universities between 2001-2009 by examining the impact of on-campus murders on student applications and alumni donations. Taken together, the studies contribute to the research on management of social approval assets following disruptions. Dissertation Chair: Rhonda Reger
