Download or read book Public Relations As Relationship Management written by Eyun-Jung Ki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of relationship management as a paradigm for public relations scholarship and practice necessitates an examination of precisely what public relations achieves -- its definition, function and value, and the benefits it generates. Promoting the view that public relations provides value to organizations, publics, and societies through relationships, Public Relations as Relationship Management takes a in-depth look at organization-public relationships and explores the strategies that can be employed to cultivate and maintain them. Expanding on the work published in the first edition, this thoroughly up-to-date volume covers such specialized areas of public relations as non-profit organizations, shareholder relations, lobbying, employee relations, and risk management. It expands the reader’s ability to understand, conceptualize, theorize, and measure public relations through the presentation of state-of-the-art research and examples of the use of the relationship paradigm. Developed for scholars, researchers, and advanced students in public relations, Public Relations as Relationship Management provides a contemporary perspective on the role of relationships in public relations, and encourages further research and study.

Download or read book Gaining Influence in Public Relations written by Bruce K. Berger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaining Influence in Public Relations explores how professionals can increase their influence in practice to help their organizations achieve success. This provocative book explores the largely uncharted territories of power, resistance, dissent, and activism in public relations, arguing that practitioners can increase their power and social legitimacy by developing and using a wider range of influence resources, strategies, and tactics. Authors Bruce K. Berger and Bryan H. Reber talked with hundreds of practitioners, analyzed original survey data, and examined a detailed case study to develop a theory of power relations. Ultimately, the book seeks to advance the ethical and effective practice of public relations. Intended for scholars and graduate students in public relations, it also has much to offer practitioners, as well as scholars and students in organizational communication, organizational theory, human resources, and leadership.

Download or read book Social Media and Public Relations written by Judy Motion and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social media is having a profound, but not yet fully understood impact on public relations. In the 24/7 world of perpetually connected publics, will public relations function as a dark art that spins (or tweets) self-interested variations of the truth for credulous audiences? Or does the full glare of the internet and the increasing expectations of powerful publics motivate it to more honestly engage to serve the public interest? The purpose of this book is to examine the role of PR by exploring the myriad ways that social media is reshaping its conceptualization, strategies, and tactics. In particular, it explores the dichotomies of fake and authentic, powerless and powerful, meaningless and meaningful. It exposes transgressions committed by practitioners—the paucity of digital literacy, the lack of understanding of the norms of social media, naivety about corporate identity risks, and the overarching emphasis on spin over authentic engagement. But it also shows the power that closely networked social media users have to insert information and opinion into discussions and force "false PR friends" to be less so. This timely, challenging, and fascinating book will be of interest to all students, researchers, and practitioners in Public Relations, Media, and Communication Studies.

Download or read book PR AS PERSONS IN RELATION written by Dr. Joseph Parackal and published by Educreation Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars and practitioners opine that public relations are all about building and maintaining an organization's relationship with its public. As human relationships depend on personal interactions, so, it naturally necessitates ethical as well as anthropological aspects. In fact, a vast majority of the scholars have already portrayed the ethical responsibility of the organization and the practitioner while dealing with various people. But a few of them have pointed out that public relation is needed to view anthropological perspectives, which, in turn, will be significant and virtuous for human beings. Accordingly, practical functional approach is the foremost requirement to overcome in dealing with the public relationships. Therefore, while exploring the public relations literature, we have tried to integrate these three aspects (relational, ethical and anthropological) and propose a reasonable ethical framework for the professional practice of public relations based on the dignity of the person.
