Abstract:

There is lack of a strategic body of literature and books of the practice of public relations (PR) in Uganda. This prohibits the public relations practitioners to participate in African and disadvantages the PR practitioners in terms of participating in African and global debates about their discipline. The lack of knowledge in PR has an impact on the way practitioners carry out their duties in an organisation and it also has an impact on the way top management views practitioners. This treatise focuses on PR practitioners in Kampala, Uganda. The research focused on global literature on what r

Abstract:

An ongoing concern within the young field of public relations is the profession's lack of acceptance. In general, the literature agrees that public relations practitioners should have a "seat at the table" within top management though many scholars and professionals feel this has not yet occurred, especially within higher education. This would tend to suggest that practitioners are not yet in the managerial role or not following the two-way models of public relations. However, public relations roles and models within education have not been researched as heavily, especially in institutions of

Abstract:

The digital media landscape has fundamentally changed the way audiences consume and share content, creating many opportunities and challenges for news companies and organizations of all types (private, public and non-profit). This research investigates how the latter have gained the ability to produce and distribute journalistic-like content through their owned channels, thus circumventing journalists and engaging with their audiences directly. It shows how digital media have altered the manner in which news about organizations is disseminated, and, subsequently, the roles of PR practitioners

Abstract:

This thesis applies role theory to understand how Uzbekistan's bilateral relationships became either conflicting or cooperative between 1991 and 2010. Roles are key elements of social interaction as they describe plausible lines of action in a particular subject-person. They are thus a helpful way of identifying actors and constructing narratives. Furthermore, if they are seen as metaphors for drama, one may argue that roles - as opposed to personal identities - encapsulate autonomous action, which, like a text, ascertains meaning beyond the author's intent. In other words, by separating actio

Abstract:

German banking is distinguished from neighboring European banking systems by the influence of its public sector banks. Nearly 50 percent of German banking is carried out by government owned state banks (ländesbanken) and regional savings banks (sparkassen) whose roots date from the 18 th century. German banks play a particularly important role in the economy and exert more control over firms and corporations than do their American counterparts. German banks tend to be less profitable than foreign counterparts. German public banks were originally founded to foster local and regional business. H

This paper addresses the question of whether Russia’s role conception changed after the annexation of Crimea. Research on role conceptions has a solid standing within foreign policy analysis, but information on role change and what it is that affects it has not been given the necessary attention. The paper’s theoretical framework contains earlier theoretical definitions of role conceptions and role change. In conjunction with the theoretical approach, process tracing and systematic text analysis with a focus on narratives are used as methodological tools. Relevant findings are then generated t
