1.        Introduction
Nowadays, because of the advancement of society, such as new media and technology, it is an undeniable fact that corporations have to face more challenges and risks when they are trying to build, maintain and protect their reputation. Therefore, how to manage their corporation image is one of the most important problems for many corporations worldwide and this is especially a problem with some famous international names. At the same time, corporation reputation management is also a prevalent academic research topic. Many scholars, such as Gray Davies and Charles Fombrun, had contributed to develop this topic. The essay will analyze the method Inner Mongolia Mengniu Dairy Co. Ltd.(Mengniu Dairy)  had employed to build its corporate reputation in the past and will bring up some suggestions about its methods and strategies.

There are three main reasons this essay takes Mengniu Dairy as the sample to do the analysis:
1)        As one of the biggest dairy manufacturers in China, Mengniu Dairy has been dominating the domestic dairy sales for many years.
2)      Mengniu Dairy is a rising company. Founded in 1999, it took Mengniu only 8 years to secure its leadership in China’s diary industry.  The important reasons Mengniu Dairy could gain this surprising achievement is its prominent success in building its corporation reputation.
3)        Mengniu Dairy’s reputation has just experienced a fatal strike in 2008 because of its implication into the toxic powder milk scandal. Therefore, how to rebuild its corporate reputation is an exhausting and time-taking task especially given the adverse market and the impact of financial tsunami.

Considering reasons, the essay could be able to show the affect for developing a young firm from its successful strategy in building corporation reputation through analyzing Mengniu Dairy. Simultaneously,the essay could also do some creative tries on rescuing and rebuilding its reputation after the scandal.
