Strategizing Communication offers a unique perspective on the theory and practice of strategic communication. Written for students and practitioners interested in learning about and acquiring tools for dealing with the technological, environmental and managerial challenges, which organizations face when communicating in today s mediascape, this book presents an array of theories, concepts and models through which we can understand and practice communication strategically.

Rather, contextual factors such as competition, technological developments, global cultural trends and local traditions as well as employees skills and attitudes will determine the organization s communicative success.
