Das Buch macht deutlich, warum eine Neugestaltung der Unternehmenskommunikation erforderlich ist und bietet zugleich praktikable Konzepte und Leitfäden für die Umsetzung.Die Kommunikationsabteilungen haben die Möglichkeiten der Digitalisierung, Virtualisierung und Künstlichen Intelligenz bislang viel zu wenig genutzt. Zudem leiden Unternehmen - wie auch Politik und öffentliche Institutionen - unter einem Glaubwürdigkeitsverlust in der Gesellschaft. Um Krisen aktiv vorzubeugen, müssen Unternehmen in der Lage sein, Vertrauen und Glaubwürdigkeit aufzubauen. Das erfordert ein völlig neues Interaktionssystem, das agil, datengetrieben, vorausschauend, schnell und interaktiv statt nur kommunikativ und reaktiv ist.Dafür muss eine zeitgemäße, datenbasierte 24/7 All-2-All (A2A) Interaktionsstruktur aufgebaut, Prozesse optimiert, wiederkehrende Aufgaben automatisiert sowie aktuelle Konzepte und Technologien für die Interaktion genutzt werden. Damit lassen sich Kosteneinsparungen, verkürzte Bearbeitungszeiten, Steigerung der Effizienz und Effektivität des Interaktionsprozesses und eine verbesserte Markenaktivierung erreichen aber auch kommunikative Risiken minimieren und Shitstorms vermeiden. Am Ende steht ein nachweisbarer Beitrag zu den Unternehmensergebnissen.Das Buch bietet ein Prozessmodell zur Transformation der Unternehmenskommunikation als Leitfaden für die Transformation. Ein Self-Assessment-Tool ermöglicht die aktuelle Standortbestimmung und ist damit der Ausgangspunkt für die Optimierung.

Das vorliegende Buch uber politische Interessenvertretung behandelt anhand einer Fallstudie an der Schnittstelle zwischen EU-Verkehrs-, Klima- und Energiepolitik eine Forschungslucke der Kommunikationswissenschaft: Es wird untersucht, welche Bedeutung Informalitat in der fachpolitischen EU-Interessenvertretung zukommt. Informalitat wird sowohl in der offentlichen Debatte als auch in der einschlagigen akademischen Diskussion als konstitutive Bedingung von Interessenvertretung angenommen und als funktionsspezifische Handlungs- bzw. kommunikative Sphare vorausgesetzt. Als kommunikativer Wirkmechanismus im Lobbying-Kontext wurde Informalitat bislang nicht untersucht. Die Innovation der Arbeit besteht zudem darin, dass nicht nur die Akteure der Interessenvertretung und deren Strategien zur Einflussnahme auf politische Akteure, sondern auch die sog. Outside-Dimension der Interessenvertretung betrachtet wird. Diese bezieht journalistische Akteure und die speziell auf sie abzielenden Steuerungsversuche von Interessenvertreter*innen mit in die Analyse ein.
