Abstract:
Highlighting audience-focused principles and techniques of audience research and recurring assessment, this title is based on the premise that public relations (PR) is a management function, one coordinated with an organization's other management divisions. It provides a comprehensive survey of PR's foundations, processes, tactics, and contexts.
