At the same time, social media has become a vibrant field of research for media economists and media management researchers. In this handbook, international experts present a comprehensive account of the latest developments in social media research and management, consistently linking classical media management with social media. The articles discuss new theoretical approaches as well as empirical findings and applications, yielding an interesting overview of interdisciplinary and international approaches. The book’s main sections address forms and content of social media; impact and users; management with social media; and a new value chain with social media. The book will serve as a valuable reference work for researchers, students and professionals working in media and public relations.

ISBN: 9780324312102

This book is a complete update of an earlier volume that Harris wrote in 1993. The entire concept of The Marketer's Guide to Public Relations runs counter to the traditional concept of 'events-driven' public relations. This book challenges the reader to use public relations as a strategic tool, to achieve measurable and actionable marketing objectives. Not dissimilar to the concept of 'Integrated Marketing Communications', MPR seeks to read one's market, determine need, and build a marketing program (both communciation and marketing strategy) from the outside in: determine the way customers want to learn about your product and develop a strategy to create awareness, communcate the benefits, and instill a motivation to purchase.
