This email is going to include a broad understanding of what public relations is, how it is different from marketing, what tasks will it undertake and what differences and changes it can bring about in DOME. Public relations is defined as the development and management of ethical strategies using communication to build relationships with stakeholders or publics. (ed.Johnston and Sheehan, 2014, p. 6) In simple terms, it develops and maintains mutually beneficial relationships between an organization and its stakeholders. According to James Grunig’s excellence theory, public relations can serve as a management function to the overall effectiveness of an organization with it’s strategic and planned approach (Grunig ed,2013) and in While Elser’s opinion, Public Relations excel at message control and manage a diverse group of stakeholders to deliver messages across various touch points. (Elser 2013) Public relations is often confused with marketing. While the two areas can often be interdependent, they do have substantial differences. Marketing is described as a ‘social and managerial...

...Overview: The Chinese government left nothing to chance in its quest to host the 2008 Olympic Games. After narrowly losing its 1993 hosting bid, the Chinese government hired several public relations (PR) firms and consultants, including U.S.-based Weber Shandwick and Bell Pottinger, a British firm. The investment in PR paid off: The International Olympics Committee named China as the host of the 2008 games. In addition to targeting the Chinese government, activists also set their sights on Carrefour, Coca-Cola, Lenovo, McDonald’s, and other global companies that spent tens of millions of dollars on advertising and public relations campaigns associated with the Games and the Olympic torch relay. These A-list Olympics sponsors were forced to take a proactive approach to PR as well. Adidas is the second largest world seller of sport shoes, after Nike. Adidas’ advertising campaigns usually involves famous names in sport. Adidas is trying to unseat Nike from the position of industry leader by launching the new Adidas 1 which is said to be an “intelligent shoe” and by involving David Beckham, a famous football (soccer) player, in its advertisements. 1. Why did the Chinese government hire a Western public relations firm to work on the 2008 Beijing Olympics? 2. Why do protesters and activists target events such as the Olympics? 3. Does the opportunity to reach a global audience by advertising during the Olympics offset the potential for bad publicity? 4. Do you think...

...HUT INDIA Overview Launch of a New Pizza Crust - Freshizza Create awareness for the introduction of the new pizza crust ‘Freshizza’, highlighting FRESHNESS of the dough as a key ingredient for a perfect pizza. Situation Analysis Each Pizza Hut restaurant prepares fresh dough several times a day on premise, unlike competing brands whose stores receive crusts from a few central commissaries making the dough older by 1- 2 days. This fact had not been leveraged by Pizza Hut in the past. In the course of product development, Pizza Hut had commissioned research to evaluate the proposition of ‘Fresh’ among consumer focus groups. The key findings here revealed that ‘Freshness’ in the context of Indian bread (chappati’s) implied kneading fresh dough daily. Consumers preferred chappati’s made from freshly kneaded dough as they were softer and tastier than those made from two day old dough. This was unlike the perception on pizza’s where ‘Freshness’ was only understood as a piping hot pizza. Strategy The PR programme decided to use both the insights gained from the commissioned research, to present an all new pizza crust and focus on leveraging editorial opportunities to create awareness for freshness and differentiate the product on taste. In order to add credibility to product claims and influence media on the freshness of the product, PR Pundit considered it vital to get a leading food critique to endorse the product. Through dialogue and product sampling, the PR programme...

...2 Adaptive and Reflective Middleware 2.1 Introduction Middleware platforms and related services form a vital cog in the construction of robust distributed systems. Middleware facilitates the development of large software systems by relieving the burden on the applications developer of writing a number of complex infrastructure services needed by the system; these services include persistence, distribution, transactions, load balancing, clustering, and so on. The demands of future computing environments will require a more flexible system infrastructure that can adapt to dynamic changes in application requirements and environmental conditions. Next-generation systems will require predictable behavior in areas such as throughput, scalability, dependability, and security. This increase in complexity of an already complex software development process will only add to the already high rates of project failure. Middleware platforms have traditionally been designed as monolithic static systems. The vigorous dynamic demands of future environments such as large-scale distribution or ubiquitous and pervasive computing will require extreme scaling into large, small, and mobile environments. In order to meet the challenges presented in such environments, next-generation middleware researchers are developing techniques to enable middleware platforms to obtain information concerning environmental conditions and adapt their behavior to better serve their current deployment. Such capability...

...Abstract In the world of today with rude competition everywhere, customers’ expectations have become higher than ever. It is not the customers who come towards the products but it is the products which should make their way to the customers. And for this, only competitive businesses that are able to stimulate customers’ interests survive in the market. Therefore firms need to increase customers’ awareness about their products or services to be able to pull and encourage them to engage in purchase of their products. And as such, the promotional mix used by a company is really important for this task. The promotional mix in itself is very broad, consisting of various tools, like advertising, personal selling, direct marketing, public relation and sales promotion. To make the optimum use of these tools, marketers usually select them, depending on their budget and objectives, as well as the sector in which they operate (Kotler & Armstrong 1997). As such, research has been conducted on the use of promotional mix and research questions and objectives have been set. The methodology which will be used has been devised. We shall be doing a descriptive study through a survey questionnaire, in which there will be open as well as close ended questions and the questionnaire will be administered through personal interview that is direct, face-to-face. The sample size will be 100 persons and will all be customers of J Kalachand & Co Ltd. After the research, we will be...

...Impact of PR for Chipotle John Moore Marketing 529 City University of Seattle Dr. Jean French February 23rd, 2014 Abstract The intention of this paper is to show the benefit that PR has had on the profitability, market success and financial performance of the organization Chipotle. Despite Chipotle being in business for 20 years, they have struggled to find their point of differentiation to market to their customers. In the last three years, Chipotle has used PR to communicate their mission statement and company focus of telling their story about what their mission “Food with Integrity” means and is all about. By focusing their efforts on communicating this story they have increased brand recognition, value and have lead to increased financial performance. Company Overview Chipotle was founded in Denver, Colorado in 1993. Their goal from the beginning was to use high-quality raw ingredients, with classic cooking methods and a distinctive interior design and friendly staff. They wanted to step themselves apart from other fast food restaurants and competitors like McDonald’s, KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut and ended up creating their own category called “fast-casual” (Phillips, 2010). According to the company website they have always had this statement of “Food with Integrity” but they didn’t promote it or explain what it was all about. In 2010, they addressed this by making it their mission statement and what they place value on. Food with Integrity means to know...
