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.

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.
