The study was guided by three objectives: To identify the strategies used by the Republic of Rwanda to restore her image as a corporate, post the 1994 genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda. To evaluate Rwanda’s corporate image, post the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. To analyze the use of corporate image restoration strategies in restoring Rwanda’s image, post the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
