Public Relations in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: An Arab Perspective (Routledge New Directions in PR & Communication Research)
by Talal M Almutairi Dean KruckebergThe Arab world has engaged in public relations for thousands of years, and the public relations literature provides multiple examples extending from ancient times. However, modern public relations is much more vaguely defined. This is partly because the research surrounding public relations practice in the Middle East remains sparse, especially in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This book presents a clear picture of contemporary PR practice in this region, providing a background on the evolution of public relations in each GCC country. It shows how environmental factors (historical, cultural, socio-political, and economic) influence practice in the region. It also contributes to public relations scholarship, education, and practice worldwide by providing new perspectives to those unfamiliar with its practice in this region. This book will benefit scholars and practitioners alike through its informed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of practice in the GCC countries, as well as being of great benefit to the development of professional practice in the region.

Public Relations Management in Africa Volume 1: Exploring Organisational Impact
by Albert A. Anani-Bossman Takalani E. Mudzanani Cornelius B. Pratt Isaac A. BlanksonThis two-part volume examines current pedagogical modules, research directions and other emerging issues in public relations and communication management in Africa. In comparison to its Western and Asian counterparts, the literature on public relations management in Africa is limited, and much of it is examined through the lenses of Western philosophies and pedagogies that do not generally resonate with Africa's socioeconomic, political, and cultural contexts. This book aims to change that. Through analyzing the organizational dynamic, Volume 1 brings together contributors from across Africa to provide valuable insights into how public relations contributes to organizational effectiveness on the continent. Chapters discussed include a review of public relations research in Africa, the role of the African CEO as a public relations activist, the use of social and digital media in public relations, the measurement and evaluation of communication programs, and the implications of the fourth industrial revolution on public relations practice in Africa. Providing important pathways and overviews of public relations management in Africa, this volume not only highlights current practices but offers insights into the future of the practice within its evolving global landscape.

The Public Relations of Everything: The Ancient, Modern and Postmodern Dramatic History of an Idea (Routledge New Directions in PR & Communication Research)
by Robert E. BrownThe public relations of "everything" takes the radical position that public relations is a profoundly different creature than a generation of its scholars and teachers have portrayed it. Today, it is clearly no longer limited, if it ever has been, to the management of communication in and between organizations. Rather, it has become an activity engaged in by everyone, and for the most basic human reasons: as an act of self-creation, self-expression, and self-protection. The book challenges both popular dismissals and ill-informed repudiations of public relations, as well as academic and classroom misconceptions. In the age of digitization and social media, everyone with a smart phone, Twitter and Facebook accounts, and the will and skill to use them, is in the media. The PR of everything – the ubiquitousness of public relations – takes a perspective that is less concerned with ideas of communication and information than with experience and drama, a way of looking at public relations inside out, upside down and from a micro rather than a macro level. Based on a combination of the research of PR practice and critical-thinking analysis of theory, and founded in the author’s extensive corporate experience, this book will be invaluable reading for scholars and practitioners alike in Public Relations, Communications and Social Media.

Public Relations - Organisation und Profession: Öffentlichkeitsarbeit als Organisationsfunktion. Eine Berufsfeldstudie (Organisationskommunikation)
by Ulrike RöttgerPublic Relations wird in der Arbeit theoretisch und empirisch als Organisationsfunktion analysiert: Im Mittelpunkt stehen zum einen die Funktionen und Leistungen der PR in und für Organisationen und zum anderen Fragen der Professionalisierungsbedürftigkeit und -fähigkeit der PR als Auftragskommunikation. Die Autorin betrachtet beide Themenkomplexe vor allem aus der Meso-Perspektive der Organisation, aber auch aus der Mikro-Perspektive der Akteure. Die Bezugnahme auf Überlegungen der Strukturierungstheorie verspricht dabei, beide Perspektiven nicht isoliert, sondern in ihrer wechselseitigen Verschränkung zu erfassen. Mit der umfangreichen empirischen Studie liegen erstmals für Deutschland umfassende empirische Daten über das gesamte PR-Berufsfeld in einem Kommunikationsraum und nicht nur für einzelne Segmente vor.
