closeIn times of uncertainty, confidence is undermined – causing widespread doubt and scepticism in public opinion. In today’s environment, countries and firms are trying to recover the support that has been lost. They are also attempting to manage that confidence in a new and as yet partly unknown digital context.
The causes behind the sharp drop in confidence in the main social institutions (governments, leaders and companies) can be found both inside and outside of those institutions. Some of those causes are short-term, while others, in the worst cases, are structural. What is clear is that all those causes negatively affect the reputation of those institutions. While a good reputation helps countries attract more tourists and investment (a 10% increase in reputation implies and 11% jump in number of tourists and a 2% rise in investment) -along with higher sales and more talent- this correlation is at least as strong if not more so in the opposite direction.
