Introduction

To gain understanding and support for the initiatives and problems that arise during an organization's operations, external relations management must be focused on building good relationships with external stakeholders. It has been aptly described as "a promise made and a promise kept overtime" because reputation involves a collective representation of stakeholders' opinions, an aggregate evaluation of an organization's past and present behavior, and a holistic impression of a company over time-based on its performance and ability to deliver on the brand promise and other valued outcomes to its multiple stakeholders.
By identifying opportunities and hazards that are crucial to an organization, external relations and reputation management gives a company the chance to communicate and manage positive parts of its image and values. Every organization benefits from being able to actively monitor, evaluate, and respond to both internal and external concerns, which also helps the success of those businesses. As a means of strengthening their competitive edge in a changing business environment, organizations need to acquire capacities for managing crucial external relations that capture the characteristics and specificities of those relationships.
