Hyvää pöhinää.

Partly skimmed through. Fine for a basic business school approach to organizational communication.

This was a textbook for a class in my grad program. It provides a solid overview of strategic and corporate communications touching on such subjects as crisis management, corporate branding and identity, strategic planning, media relations, and corporate social responsibility.

You know, it's a textbook so it's not going to be the most exciting read on planet earth. Would I have read it outside of class, probably not (plus, being a textbook it's rather expensive - used it was $45). But it's objective as a teaching instrument is fully met and it does provide a strong overview of the subject. I feel, combined with my class, that my understanding of the subject was strengthened by having read it.

This book delivered what the ttle promised: Indeed it was a good mix of theory and practice giving clear insight int the different aspects of corporate communication. I also appreciated the case studies, of which there were plenty, as they really managed to illustrate the key points of each chapter.

It’s a textbook, gives overall view of corporate communications. Sometimes things could’ve been summarised for faster go through, but other than pretty solid. Wouldn’t buy as individual & self development- this was a course book for me.

[Frank Nuijens]

Not the easiest read, but a very complete overview of the field of corporate communication.

[Tiffany]

Used as a textbook for a graduate school class. Pretty easy to read but some of the case studies/examples were a little dated, especially when it came to social media crises.

Kurumsal iletişim alanında temel ve kuramsal bilgiler edinmek açısından iyi bir başlangıç kitabı ancak baskıda çok fazla imla hatası mevcut

[Anastasia Tuple]

Nicely organized and comprehensive for whoever is interested or is practising in the field of corporate communications.

[Aliah]

Great refresher for established comms professionals. I wish the book had more content on metaverse and web3 and hoping future updates will have more on emerging tech.
