These leaders use types of strategic planning and management, propaganda, management by objectives or MBO’s, and the SWOT analysis or strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to accomplish their objectives.

These processes can be used on the public grand scale to the citizens of the United States in a Presidential election or they can be used in a business to sell more products or get the leader a more prominent position.

The persuasive techniques of propaganda are usually used by politicians, advertisers, and journalists who like to influence human behavior. Uses of propaganda can be used to accomplish campaigns to reduce drunk driving, laws against bearing arms, and other things. They are also used to...

  • Defining Public Relations

    1125 Words  | 3 Pages

    What is Public Relations (PR)? PR is difficult to define because it encompasses so many areas and today has developed into a multi-million dollar industry influencing all aspects of our lives (Adams et al, 1999). However, it is important to be able to compare and contrast the various definitions in order to have a complete understanding of what public relations is and how it is used. The public is a large population to consider, making it easier to understand why it is so difficult to define PR. Along with a large population come many perceptions, beliefs, ideas, and opinions, all influences on PR. I define public relations as the act/s used by individuals, corporations, and groups to influence ones opinions and/or decisions about a product, idea, person/s, company/s, etc. and the public. Robert L. Heath defines PR as ‘functions of management/supervisors that foster an organization's ability to strategically listen to, appreciate, and respond to those persons who's mutually beneficial relationships with the organization are necessary if it is to achieve its missions and values (Health, 2007)'.

    Public relations is everywhere today. It is a practice that has become an important aspect of any business venture. Whether an organization is not for profit, for profit, or governmental, they still need and desire to communicate their purpose within the community and public relations allows this to happen. There are several publics in which the PR practitioner must correspond with and each requires a different means of communication. Internal publics are inside the organizations such as clerks, managers, and stockholders. "External publics are those not directly connected to the organization: the press, government, educators, customers, suppliers, and the community" (Seitel, 2004). Each public plays a key role in the PR of the organization. The many functions of PR can also be categorized based on what purpose they serve the organization.

  • Essay On Media And Public Relations

    1052 Words  | 3 Pages

    Public relations have turned from “crude attempts to aggrandize a ruler’s accomplishments to being the full-service communication industry it is today,” (pg. 329, Rodman). New media and technology have changed the face of public relations from ancient Greek teachers of rhetoric to companies salvaging hopeless reputations of businesses on the brink of disaster. Public relations have adapted to the media, but has still kept the values of promoting ideas and creating images in sight. Back in 1773, long before the idea of public relations, the Boston Tea Party was one of the biggest staged events in an attempt to gain publicity and support from the American people, (pg. 330, Rodman). This started to get the field started, as people begun to realize the power of public relations. When it finally emerged as a profession in the 20th century, the industry had a lot of maturing to do. Edward and Doris Bernays then figured out a way to get the client’s interpretation over to the public. These were the individuals responsible for getting women to smoke in public, and eventually turned the belief that women shouldn’t smoke around to be an acceptable phenomenon. People began to realize that they could promote social change by public relation strategies. They could also bring companies back from the brink of disaster, just like the medicine Tylenol, which had caused

    Group 6 Strategic Management Strategic management is the process where organization managers reach the goals and aspirations of the organization on behalf of its owners. This is done through formulation and implementation of ways and methods to fulfill the organizational goals and objectives (Brian, 2011). This is done with in-depth consideration of both the internal and external environments that the organization operates in, in order to allow the organization to make the right decisions. Strategic management is an important element that firms must put together through strategic thinking as well as strategic planning (Nag, R., Hambrick & Chen, 2007).
