This course introduces students to the basic concepts and theories of corporate communication. The first part of the course will discuss the nature and historical emergence of corporate communication. Most theories on corporate communication are based on insights into stakeholder management and the importance of a sound corporate reputation for the well-being of the organisation, which are the central concepts that will be discussed in the second part of the course. The third part of the course will deal with communication in practice: how is the strategy developed and implemented. How do organisations keep track of the extent to which goals are reached? The fourth part of the course will focus on some specialist areas in the field of corporate communication, such as building and maintaining relations with journalists and media, internal communication, issues management and crisis communication. The last part of the course will discuss leadership, change communication, and the growing importance of corporate social responsibility and social media.
