Handbook of Corporate Communication and Public Relations 1222 2 3 HANDBOOK OF 4 CORPORATE COMMUNICATION 5 6 AND PUBLIC RELATIONS 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4222 A comprehensive addition to existing literature, the Handbook of Corporate Communication and 5 Public Relations provides an excellent overview of corporate communication, clearly positioning 6 the field’s most current debates. Synthesizing both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary 7 approaches, it offers readers the in-depth analysis required to truly understand corporate com- 8 munication, corporate strategy and corporate affairs as well as the relevant public relations 9 issues. Written by academics based in Europe, Asia and North America, the text is well illus- 20 trated with contemporary case studies, drawing out the most pertinent best practice outcomes 1 and theoretically based applications. 2 Its four parts cover national communication; international communication; image, identity 3 and reputation management; and the future for corporate communication theory and practice. 4 With a refreshing new approach to this subject, the authors challenge reductionist views of 5 corporate communication, providing persuasive evidence for the idea that without an organ- 6 izational communication strategy, there is no corporate strategy. 7 The Handbook of Corporate Communication and Public Relations is an essential one-stop refer- 8 ence for all academics, practitioners and students seeking to understand organizational 9 communication management and strategic public relations. 30222 1 Sandra M.

Introduction Corporate communication is essential to the functionality of modern corporate houses which face series of challenges in the new millennium. Modern corporate communicators need to know how to apply different communication skills in corporate situations in order to establish rapport between the organization and other publics. They should also know how to communicate with clients to project a professional corporate image since there are many different communication channels available in the corporate environment. The present generation of corporate communicators should also know how to overcome communication barriers and avoid pitfalls. Good corporate reputations are critical because of their potential for value creation, but also because their intangible character makes replication by competing firms considerably more difficult. Existing empirical research confirms that there is a positive relationship between reputation management and development of corporate houses. Modern corporations have realized the importance of managing the reputation which sustains their progress in the age of competitive business management. People share different perceptions about what constitutes a corporate reputation. In reality, corporate reputation management is a challenging business since it is dynamic process in corporations.

COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES AS A BASIS FOR CRISIS MANAGEMENT INCLUDING USE OF THE INTERNET AS A DELIVERY PLATFORM by GORDON A. HARRISON Under the Direction of George Pullman ABSTRACT Eighty per cent of small companies without a comprehensive crisis plan vanish within two years of suffering a major disaster—a remarkable and ominous statistic. Crises are occurring more often in all organizations, and when they occur, they are leaving a wake of financial, operational, and reputational damage. Why this trend, now? There are five important reasons: 1) a more volatile workplace involving financial, legal, or management issues within the organization; 2) an extreme production mentality often obscuring the conditions under which crises might otherwise be recognized, addressed, or mitigated; 3) enhanced technological platforms for information delivery, such as the Internet, generating a revolving information door thus promoting organizational stress and crisis; 4) fast-paced and invasive journalism practices that eliminate invisibility for decisionmaking or reaction; and, 5) lack of strategic planning for crisis.

    Corporate Propaganda: Its Implications For Accounting And Accountability David J Collison Department of Accountancy and Business Finance, University of Dundee, Scotland, U.K. email [email protected] Tel +44(0)1382 344857 Fax +44(0)1382 348421 Acknowledgements I would like to particularly thank (chronologically) Rob Gray, Lee Parker and George Frankfurter for their advice and encouragement in the development of this paper. I would also like to thank David Power, Lorna Stevenson, and other departmental colleagues for very helpful comments, and also participants at seminars at the University of Glasgow and at Glasgow Caledonian University, and at the APIRA 2001 conference at Adelaide. I am extremely grateful to Sara Reiter, who was discussant of the paper at APIRA, for many very insightful comments and suggestions. Finally I am grateful for the very helpful critiques received from the anonymous referees. Abstract This paper examines the nature of propaganda and its use by corporations, particularly in the US, over a period of nearly 100 years. It emphasises the invisibility of much of this activity and propaganda's importance for shaping acquiescence in corporate hegemony. The role played by corporate propaganda in the development of different forms of capitalism is addressed. The inculcation of accounting and finance students with values that serve corporate interests is considered: in this context propaganda is inferred in both the longstanding misrepresentation of Adam Smith, and the sustained illusion of competitive "free markets". The role and language of the business media as a form of propaganda is considered, particularly regarding colonisation of social market economies by Anglo-Saxon capitalism which takes as incontestable the maximisation of shareholder value as the proper and necessary aim of corporate activity.

  • The Minimized Face of Internal Communication: an Exploration of How Public Relations Agency Websites Frame Internal Communication and Its Connection to Social Media
    Public Relations Journal Vol. 11, Issue 1 (June 2017) © 2017 Institute for Public Relations The Minimized Face of Internal Communication: An Exploration of How Public Relations Agency Websites Frame Internal Communication and its Connection to Social Media Abbey B. Levenshus Assistant Professor College of Communication Butler University [email protected] Laura L. Lemon, Doctoral Student Assistant Professor, College of Communication and Information Sciences, University of Alabama. Abstract Internal communication is increasingly vital to organizational success due to the influence of social media, yet it remains understudied within public relations research. Using a qualitative content analysis of 181 websites, this study examines how leading public relations agency websites frame the value of internal communication and its connection to social media. Findings reveal internal communication is largely missing from the frame. When explicitly referenced, it is mostly framed as synonymous with employee communication as a means for management to communicate to employees, though some portrayals are more robust. Websites frame internal communication’s value as enhancing financial outcomes by improving workplace culture, employee engagement, and workers’ willingness to support management’s preferred organization brand or reputation. Social media are disconnected from internal communication and are mostly framed as tools that require additional employee training to use in order to reach external audiences. A handful of agencies urge organizations

  • The Role of Corporate Communication in Building Organization’S Corporate Reputation: an Exploratory Analysis
    ijcrb.webs.com APRIL 2013 INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH IN BUSINESS VOL 4, NO 12 The Role of Corporate Communication in Building Organization’s Corporate Reputation: An Exploratory Analysis 1Mohd Remie Mohd Johan* 2Dr Noor Anida Zaria Mohd Noor 1,2Faculty of Business and Information Science, UCSI University, Malaysia Corresponding Author * Mohd Remie Bin Mohd Johan Faculty of Business and Information Science UCSI University No.1 Jalan Menara Gading, UCSI Heights 56000 Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract The corporate reputation is one of the essential intangible assets for many companies. Businesses that lack of this important asset may face the difficulties where operational income is less than operational cost; business losing customers may confront the problem of a profit decline (Weiwei, 2007). Besides that, reputation is an intangible asset that can‟t be built just only through advertising. To build a strong reputation, the firm must have strong communication to communicate with the stakeholders. To convince and persuade them to believe in the firm without a strong communicator, no matter how much effort organization does, the stakeholders will still go to another whom able to “move” them. Therefore, a strong communication will be a great step to build an organization‟s reputation. Several studies have shown that improving corporate reputation results in better corporate communication for companies. However, more and more researchers have realized that corporate communication is the most important factors to form corporate reputation. This research aims to describe the relationship between corporate communication and corporate reputation, and their impact on the companies‟ success. Keywords : Corporate Communication, Corporate Reputation, Advertising, Public Relation, Corporate Social Responsibility INTRODUCTION A revolution in the business landscape has forced business to change and adapt the changes from the business environment.
