Assessment Report Topic corporate responsibility follow the conditions
Length/ duration 1500 words per individual group poster
Task : Communicating strategically
In Assignment 1 we examined the changing environment for business and factors impacting on communication in today's workplace. In Assignment 4 we explore how these changes have affected corporate communications and why it has become imperative for modern organisations to communicate strategically. Against this backdrop, the focus of the assignment is on the corporate communication function itself.
Although not every organisation can include all the sub functions and responsibilities, to operate most effectively, a majority of these functions must be included in the overall communications function.
Your boss, the CEO of MnM Company, has asked you to prepare a report investigating the question: 'Why and how should managers master the corporate communication function'? In so doing she expects you to examine the following four sub-functions within the function:
1. Identity, image, and reputation
2. Corporate responsibility
3. Media relations
4. Crisis management.
5. Stakeholder relations*
*For groups of 5 only.
Working in groups, each student will write on one of these four corporate communication sub-functions. (Please note: depending on final student numbers there may be groups of three or five.
