He describes and reviews external and internal communication; examines human behavior in communicating; reviews corporate communication structure; and analyzes messages and media and shows how to get started toward cost-effective corporate communication.In 11 chapters, the book presents a look at corporate communications based on economic principles. Separate chapters examine the business environment and communication; corporate communication and strategy and reputation; corporate communication and the individual; corporate communication and messages; corporate communication and media; corporate communication and measurement; and corporate communication and business structure. A major resource for senior managers, strategists, and other communications specialists.
