An ontological approach to assessing a company’s business reputation

DOI: 10.33917/mic-4.117.2024.72-82

Asset management of a company as a set of its property rights is an important process of economic life. Asset analysis and valuation is important for making management decisions. The valuation of the company’s assets is complicated by the fact that the assets are considered as part of a functioning complex or as an independent type. Since a fair assessment increases the reliability of the conclusions and the significance of the appraiser firm, the formalization of its conclusions should be based on ontology terms used for internal coding of user knowledge.

The evaluation of intellectual property objects is conditioned by the requirements of the market in the relations of economic entities. Since a fair assessment increases the reliability of conclusions based on ontology terms used for internal coding of user knowledge, the article focuses on the results of intellectual activity, which differs in legal content and a number of features of reflecting intangible assets in accounting. Based on the practice of creating ontologies, it is impossible to assert that there is a single universal approach that would contribute to an absolutely successful result, but for appraisers this method seems to be the most optimal.

Rating does not Detract from the Company’s Business Reputation

DOI: 10.33917/es-5.191.2023.120-125

The article examines legal features and consequences of compiling a rating of companies. The situation may arise when a company, included in the rating, is dissatisfied with its position. The business entity believes that it was ranked lower than its competitor, which understates the professional results achieved by the company. In this case, the company may initiate legal proceedings declaring that information in the rating is untrue and discredits its business reputation. The author argues that ratings are an expression of subjective opinion of their compilers and must not impair business reputation.

Formation of the image of the company – the developer of computer games and protection of reputational risks

DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.109.2023.48-56

In modern conditions, rapidly developing technological innovations are the most important resource for the dissemination of information about the company. The ability of computer games to influence public consciousness was immediately taken into account by development companies, since it can perfectly act as a tool for promoting products of other sectors of the national economy. The potential of logical computer games that promote the perception of stereotypes through game images should be used more widely in the educational process.
