PR

Et corporate brand er et af de vigtigste aktiver i mange virksomheder. I denne bog har forfatterne Majken Schultz og Mary Jo Hatch i dialog med ledere fra verdensbrands som fx LEGO Gruppen, Novo Nordisk, Nissan og Johnson & Johnson udviklet en model, der kan vurdere, hvor gode virksomhederne er til at håndtere deres brand. Casehistorierne i Brug dit brand er rige, og hvert kapitel har sine egne cases til at illustrere pointerne. Corporate branding: en dynamisk ledelseopgave for det øverste ledelseslag Schultz og Hatch’ corporate brand-arbejde placerer ledelsesansvaret for brandhåndteringen på højeste niveau. Ikke i marketing og HR-afdelingen! Hver enkelt stakeholder: medarbejdere, kunder, leverandører og ”brandtilbedere” spiller en vigtig rolle, når det gælder om at definere betydningen og skabe værdien af det brand, der knytter alle stakeholdere til virksomheden. Majken Schultz og Mary Jo Hatch er helt overbeviste om, at samtænkning mellem vision, kultur og image er altafgørende for at få succes med sit brand: ”Hver eneste gang man får øje på et vellykket corporate brand, kan man konstatere en sammenhæng mellem det, virksomhe-dens øverste ledelse ønsker at opnå i fremtiden (dens strategiske vision), det, som virksomhedens medarbejdere ved eller tror på (nedfældet i dens kultur), og det, som de eksterne inte-ressenter forventer af eller forbinder med virksomheden (deres forskellige billeder eller image af virksomheden)… – jo større samhørighed mellem vision, kultur og image, desto stærkere bliver brandet”. Grundbog: overblik og præcis vejledning Brug dit brand er grundbogen, der giver ledere, virksomheder, reklame- og kommunikationsfolk – og alle andre interessenter – overblikket over corporate brandledelse. Bogen tegner både de store linier inden for corporate brand-udvikling og giver præcis vejledning til, hvordan ledere kan begynde den omfattende og aldrig afsluttede opgave at lede virksomhedens corporate brand.

Dieses Buch geht der Frage nach, wie Unternehmen Hochschulabsolventen aus der Generation Z gezielt ansprechen können, um sie als Mitarbeitende zu gewinnen. Die um die Jahrtausendwende geborene Gen Z gilt als idealistisch und durch Haltung getrieben, zuweilen aber auch als wählerisch, unmotiviert und sprunghaft; ein Job fürs Leben ist nur für die wenigsten der aktuellen Absolventen vorstellbar. Unternehmen müssen jedoch weiterhin Nachwuchs rekrutieren, um erfolgreich und produktiv zu bleiben, ¿ aber sind sie auf die neuen Vorstellungen und Ansprüche der Gen Z vorbereitet? Das Autorenteam beantwortet in diesem Buch auf Basis einer umfassenden qualitativen Studie mit Studierenden und Unternehmensvertretern in der DACH-Region folgende Fragen: Wie erreichen Arbeitgeber die neue Generation der Hochschulabsolventen?

Recruiting, Bewerbungsprozess sowie Social-Media-Auftritt.

Strategische Kommunikation zielt mit ihren kontingenten Wirklichkeitsbeschreibungen seit jeher auf gesellschaftliche Wahrheitsmodelle. Wie häufig gesellschaftliche Wahrheitsmodelle auf strategische Kommunikationsbemühungen zurückgehen, auf Unwahrhaftigkeit beruhen und damit zumindest zeitweise zu strategischen Wahrheiten werden, zeigen eindrucksvoll zwischenzeitlich geglaubte Wahrheiten, die sich als Lüge entpuppt haben: von Walter Ulbrichts ¿Niemand hat die Absicht, eine Mauer zu errichten¿ über Hitlers Tagebücher bis hin zu den Massenvernichtungswaffen im Irak. Die erfolgreichen Kampagnen der Brexiteers und von Donald Trump 2016 haben diesem Thema zu neuer und bislang ungeahnter Aufmerksamkeit verholfen. Während die Themen Desinformation und postfaktische Gesellschaft die Journalismus-, politische Kommunikations- und Medienethikforschung aktuell zu dominieren scheinen, ist das Schweigen der deutschsprachigen und internationalen PR- und Organisationskommunikationsforschung auffällig. Dies ist umso bemerkenswerter, weil die PR-Wissenschaft in der Vergangenheit immer wieder versucht hat, ihren Gegenstand zu schärfen, indem sie sich am Begriff der Propaganda abgearbeitet hat. Daraus müsste eigentlich eine Affinität für das Thema Desinformation resultieren. Aber genau das Gegenteil ist offensichtlich der Fall: Hat sich die PR-Wissenschaft gerade deshalb nicht mit Desinformation beschäftigt, weil sie sich so dezidiert von Propaganda und darin eingeschlossenen desinformierenden und manipulativen Techniken abgrenzen will? Was sind die Gründe hierfür? Glauben wir, bereits alles zum Thema gesagt zu haben? Liegt dies daran, dass sich die PR- und Organisationskommunikationsforschung seit jeher vor allem für Unternehmen und weniger für politische und Non-Profit-Organisationen interessiert? Oder fühlen wir uns hier schlicht und ergreifend nicht zuständig? Es scheint offenkundig höchste Zeit zu sein, sich wieder eingehend mit Fragen der Desinformation aus der Perspektive der strategischen Kommunikationsforschung zu befassen. Die Beiträge des Tagungsbandes fokussieren hierzu auf neue theoretische Perspektiven, normative Bewertungen und empirische Befunde.

The experience of women's everyday lives in public relations roles across the world is under-recorded and under-explored. While the body of knowledge which explores public relations and corporate communications is growing, research that seeks to understand the working lives of women in promotional cultures is still limited. This collection prioritises women's experiences and histories to understand more about public relations practices and the daily lives of women who carry out this work.Demonstrating the breadth and range of feminist writing on women's work, chapters step away from management-based accounts of public relations towards a space where marginalised voices and the lived experiences of women at all stages in their career are foregrounded. Discussing working lives in Brazil, Spain, Bosnia, Turkey, the UK and beyond, authors consider in rich detail female roles, experiences and paradoxes.Reconceptualising human experience through a holistic feminist approach, Women's Work in Public Relations takes us behind the scenes to connect with women navigating the problems and contradictions of everyday working life.

This book proposes a critical public relations approach to analyzing crisis communication with Malaysia Airlines flight 370 (MH370) disappearance (2014-2018) as a case study. It examines the discursive process of Malaysiäs crisis response and image building, tracing Malaysia Airlines during the immediate response and the Malaysian establishment until the official suspension of the underwater search. The study features a critical discourse analysis of 84 national media texts and 85 response statements, focusing on three aspects: the national media representations of Malaysiäs image, the national carrier and the government¿s rhetorical strategies of delivering stances and actions, and the dynamic process of image reconstruction and national recovery. The present project contributes to the current research area by integrating both linguistic and public relations perspectives, and more importantly, by highlighting the ideological impact instead of merely behavioral effectiveness in modern communication research. Target readers may find their interest in corporate crisis communication, critical inquiry about political public relations, and the MH370 incident in general.
