closeFrom the biological point of view, reputation may be considered a mechanism of social selection that allows one to progress as long as one’s behaviour complies with the expectations of the environment. When viewed from this perspective, reputation functions as a selfregulating mechanism of the social system.
In the course of a very short time, power and influence shifted from those who have money to those who have a better reputation and access to expanded and reliable networks. Legitimacy and trust are won by communicating with peers – those colleagues, friends and family members that we meet in person and those we know through social networks. These changes are taking place now at breakneck speed.
