The goals include understanding related disciplines and areas that public relations professionals encounter in their work; becoming familiar with the basic functions of corporate communications and their management; training in the proper use of communication tools for different organizations; recognizing the essential characteristics of managers in corporate communications; understanding how to overcome organizational and individual resistance to organizational change and gain a more complete insight into the complexity of corporate communications in companies.
Students should also learn how to design, develop, and implement a simple public relations plan in the for-profit sector, how to segment the public, communicate, and build quality relationships between a for-profit organization and the public, and identify potential corporate partnerships and alliances. Understanding the concept of strategic thinking and its indispensable application in corporate public relations, students should acquire more advanced knowledge of application, measurement and evaluation in public relations in the for-profit sector.
