Corporate communication refers to the totality of a corporation’s efforts to lead, motivate, persuade, and inform its various publics (see Course Presentation, above). The emphasis of the course will be strategic in nature. In other courses you will learn in depth about public relations, media relations, intercultural human relations, corporate communications, marketing, branding, etc. and the tools you need to conduct them effectively. This course will focus on analyzing overall communication needs and developing the right mix of communication tools, allocating resources, identifying barriers and solutions for overcoming them, and developing and managing an effective plan for internal and external communications.
