Description
Let’s Talk Society – and the society we´re talking about is in transition to a green and sustainable society, an inclusive society, and an innovative and reflective society. What is our role as communication professionals in all of this? How can we foster public debate? This book addresses these challenges and offers some answers.
Nine papers selected from a 2016 congress in Groningen, the Netherlands explore how strategic communication influences value and innovation in society. Their topics include educating society's future public relations practitioners: an exploration of preparedness as a qualitative indicator of higher education performance, when a nation's leader is under siege: managing personal reputation and engaging in public diplomacy, lessons learned: communication studies in transition, secrets of public affairs, and clarifying skills and competencies in organizational decision making: perceptions of Finnish communication professionals.
