Handbook of Corporate Communication and Public Relations

Abstract

A comprehensive addition to existing literature, the Handbook of Corporate Communication and Public Relations provides an excellent overview of corporate communication, clearly positioning the field’s most current debates. Synthesizing both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, it offers readers the in-depth analysis required to truly understand corporate communication, corporate strategy and corporate affairs as well as the relevant public relations issues. Written by academics based in Europe, Asia and North America, the text is well illustrated with contemporary case studies, drawing out the most pertinent best practice outcomes and theoretically based applications. Its four parts cover national communication; international communication; image, identity and reputation management; and the future for corporate communication theory and practice. With a refreshing new approach to this subject, the authors challenge reductionist views of corporate communication, providing persuasive evidence for the idea that without an organizational communication strategy, there is no corporate strategy. The Handbook of Corporate Communication and Public Relations is an essential one-stop reference for all academics, practitioners and students seeking to understand organizational communication management and strategic public relations
