Taking a managerial perspective, this book explores public relations and its role in the wider organizational world. Contributors explore a variety of contexts in which the relevance of understanding these two interlinking domains is so paramount, such as corporate branding and reputation, government relations and community communications, as well as drawing on experise of legal considerations and ethical awareness.

The effective management of public relations is crucial within any organization, but a wider managerial awareness and support of its role is equally critical. Public Relations: A Managerial Perspective offers an original and vital discussion of these challenges for second and third year undergraduate and postgraduate students of public relations, corporate communications and public affairs.

This unique collection of contemporary international public relations (PR) case studies gives the reader in-depth insight into effective PR practice in a range of organizational contexts. The global cases demonstrate the breadth and sophistication of the public relations function, both in public and private sector organizations.This fully updated third edition of Public Relations Cases offers fresh perspectives on the changing face of contemporary public relations and the development of PR and communication strategies. Addressing the gap in PR literature, it examines political systems, climate, media ownership and structures, as well as the social values and economic conditions which shape the role and work of PR practitioners. The book follows a four-part analytical model CDAO (Context, Decisions, Actions and Outcomes) to successfully identify the key points of comparison between cases to uncover how and why particular events occur and, critically, identifies what key factors and actions we can learn from in future decision-making. Featuring updated cases from across industries and around the world, including South East Asia, Latin America, the UK and the US, this book is an invaluable resource for researchers, postgraduate and executive education students studying public relations, corporate communication and public affairs.
