Two – way symmetric communication.<br>
slide22. According to Gruing point of view:
The first model “propaganda” is the least desirable form of communication because:
it involves a one-way flow of information.
The organization is not honest about its activities and it effects on the community.
They will also resist efforts to establish a dialogue about it.
The fourth is the best type.
It involves a company in two-way symmetric communication.
Under this model, both parties are open and truthful about each other's point of view to arrive at a common understanding.<br>
slide24. Depends on ensuring that the organization's communications policies are derived from the core strategy-identity-brand (SIB) to develop a set of “common starting points” Effective Corporate communication<br>
slide25. The corporate strategy can be translated into common starting points by applying the PPT model as : indicate what the organization wants to Promise to its most important internal and external stakeholders; indicate how it expects to Prove it ; and identify what Tone of voice it wants to use to communicate messages to those audiences.
Make plans more specific by applying the KAB model as: specify what the organization wants target groups to know (knowledge), to feel (attitude)and to do (Behavior), both with respect to the entire company and with respect to the individual business unit.<br>
