New book: Big Ideas in Public Relations Research and Practice

edited by Finn Frandsen, Winni Johansen, Ralph Tench, Stefania Romenti
published by Emerald

Part of the APRCM series, this volume collects the best contributions from the EUPRERA 2018 congress held in Aarhus, Denmark. EUPRERA members can have this volume with a 70% discount.

Big Ideas can do many things. They are transformative and change the way we work and communicate in organizations and societies. As Big Ideas are dynamic, they can cross borders between disciplines to create new relationships between people, organizations and countries.

In applying big ideas to public relations, this volume challenges how scholars and practitioners perceive and understand public relations within an organizational setting. In thinking about the ‘bigger picture’, the collection expands public relations research to include more theory-building, more cross-disciplinary research, and more innovation in practice.

The 12 unique contributions from scholars based in Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, France, Romania, the UK, Finland, Portugal and the USA explore the challenges surrounding communication, management and big ideas. Some of the topics discussed include: corporate identity, millennial engagement, strategic communication in the internationalization of firms, public relations in the start-up community and, social capital.

EUPRERA 2018 Annual Congress in Aarhus, Denmark

BIG IDEAS!
Challenging Public Relations Research and Practice

Why Big Ideas? Because we sometimes are too obsessed with details. What we need is more ‘big picture thinking’, more theorybuilding, more cross-disciplinarity, more innovation in practice – in short, new ideas that are bigger and better and that will make us look up.
