Investor relations is a subject which has been seriously taken into consideration by many companies and is an important matter nowadays. Considering that the company’s survival depends on capital, managing investors the right way is management’s obligation to the company, and it’s stakeholders, in order to keep the business in continuous growth and profitability. Public relations, on the other hand, is a subject of people. Consider that people and their relationships build businesses, this research will examine the in-depth correlation between public relations and investor relations. Managing people and communicating with them is the big picture of the company’s activities, but what kind of layers are behind those activities is what this research tries to uncover. Additionally, this research has a new approach towards media relations as media can be used as a channel to connect to people and spread information. Media is also an activity which falls under public relations. Media has a strong influence over people, and media can be used not just to create but also to manipulate and destroy. The goal of this research is to provide in-depth information about how public relations and media can be used to manage and influence global audiences, including consumers and clients, and most importantly, investors. What happens when companies manipulate the public, what happens when companies tell the truth, how the stock market and investors react to the news, what companies can do to create a powerful brand quickly and how external factors influence investors’ decisions. Many examples and scenarios are covered in this research to understand the power of public relations and media, and the influence that these two hold towards investors and the global economy. Literature review methodology was applied to this research, including various literature review types. Also, an additional qualitative method was also used in this research by conducting several interviews and taking comments from industry experts. This research is meant for business executives and marketing professionals to understand and learn about new possibilities when it comes to building a brand and gaining a certain level of power over audiences and global markets.

Public Relations in Asia Pacific reflects the growing professionalism in the practice of public relations in the world’s fastest expanding economy. It is a carefully drawn road map, both strategically and tactically, for all manner of entities, for profit and not-for-profit on how to establish and maintain effective relationships with their numerous stakeholders. Particularly insightful are the many examples of public relations in action within the Asia Pacific region. It’s a “must” read for those interested in public relations careers and those new to the profession; and it’s a first-rate refresher for the established professional. —Harold Burson, Founding Chairman, Burson-Marsteller Worldwide Mary Devereux and Anne Peirson-Smith have combined their considerable talents and experience to produce a bible of how public relations is—and should be—practiced in the Asia Pacific. One of its many virtues is that it debunks the myth that PR is just one long lunch hosted by caricature Svengalis and Spin Doctors. Rather, it sets the profession in a cultural context that will be valuable to those starting at PR 101, professionals and corporate executives who want to know how truth can be well told (with all due credit to McCann Erickson). —Kerry McGlynn, Special Adviser, Corporate Communication Department, Cathay Pacific Airways As greater social pluralism, stakeholder influence and internet driven consumer sophistication and empowerment grow relentlessly across nearly all Asian societies, Public Relations in Asia Pacific is a timely guide to the critical role of good public relations. Clear, helpful and with a wealth of good examples of how best practice PR in action can make real and tangible contributions to governments, businesses, NGOs as well as to ordinary people, this is essential reading for anyone concerned with how to communicate well in the world’s fastest growing economic region. —Tim Sutton, Chairman Asia Pacific, Weber Shandwick In an increasingly globalized world, public relations practices and strategies become critical for organizations to communicate effectively to their diverse audiences worldwide. This book is therefore an extremely timely and relevant contribution to PR students and practitioners in the Asia-Pacific region as it provides not only a comprehensive overview of the essential concepts and skills of public relations but also specific case studies which illustrate tactical uses of public relations across a wide range of issues and countries. In my opinion, this book fills a major gap in the understanding of public relations concepts and practices and will constitute a fundamental resource for all those who aspire to excel within the field. —Dr. Indrajit Banerjee, Secretary-General, Asian Media Information and Communication Centre (AMIC)

Expanding on the theoretical framework for studying and practicing public relations around the world, The Global Public Relations Handbook, Revised and Expanded Edition extends the discussion in the first volume on the history, development, and current status of the public relations industry from a global perspective. This revised edition offers twenty new chapters in addition to the original contents. It includes fourteen additional country- or regionally-focused chapters exploring public relations practice in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Contributors use a theoretical framework to present information on the public relations industry in their countries and regions. They also focus on such factors as the status of public relations education in their respective countries and professionalism and ethics. Each country-specific chapter includes a case study typifying public relations practice in that country. Additional new chapters discuss political economy, activism, international public relations, and United Nations public affairs.

The practice and study of public relations has grown significantly within Europe over the past decade, yet as a discipline, it remains a relatively unexplored field.

Key issues discussed include:- * the contribution of public relations to strategic management in organizations * the feminization of public relations * the function of rhetorical study in our understanding of modern corporate dialogue * international perspectives of public relations.
