Reputation is an intangible asset for a company, but it also plays an important role for the company. If McDonald did not announce that they was asking supplier to reduce the antibiotics, when customer got health issue concern, McDonald Company’s reputation will be affected. After McDonald announced it, public will have different view about McDonald, this will increase the McDonald Company’s reputation, and customer will have more confident about McDonald’s food.
