...technological and open economic system, it follows that the relations with the surroundings are basis of its operation and development. Just like the company that is subject to changes, so is the environment, which leads to changes of mutual and dependent direct and indirect relationships. The environment is a factor in the survival and effectiveness of the function and effectiveness of enterprise development. Creating a proper business and social environment in which firms operate normally, grow and develop is the permanent task of any government if it wants to ensure economic growth and prosperity of the country. It is beyond any doubt that the developed market environment is the starting point for the construction of the market system. You need to know that the institutional arrangements and economic and systemic mechanisms in successful economies of most developed countries (Japan, USA, Germany ...) essentially differ with each other. Thus, we conclude that there is no universal model of the economy that can be applied to any other country. Immediate environment consists of internal and external stakeholders. Internal stakeholders include: employees, shareholders and board of directors who have the most direct interest in the business enterprise. External stakeholders are consumers, competitors, suppliers, governments, financial institutions, trade unions, the media and special interest groups. Analysis and prediction of the environment...

Organizations are viewed as open systems, continually interacting with their environment and in dynamic state of temporary equilibrium as they adapt to environmental changes. Successful organizations are in constant state of flux in response to their environment, many companies are looking at media technologies as way to market their product and learn about their competitors. This presence could produce a large following depending on the interest in the content created and information shared.

Corporate reputation can be taken as complete inference that its stakeholders carry of an organization. These include both external stakeholders as well as internal ones. This has become a matter of focus for many big organizations as the reputation bring many reimbursements in terms of organization performance. The organization reputation may not be alike to all stake holders and it depends on the way the stakeholders receive familiarity once in touch with the organization. This may rise from direct experience with organization or through some other medium like news channels or talk with friends. Harrison ( n d) states that Stakeholders’ outlook for a company and their associations and interactions with the per se organization and thus the reputation may be impacted by relationship management actions some of which are outlined below pertaining to the Coca Cola case Customers: Direct Impact: Many consumers got ill effects related to health while consuming the product in 1999 in Luxemburg and Netherlands.

...Satisfaction A Research On Local And Multinational Telecom Companies In Bangladesh Introduction Today's business challenge focuses on many thing like cost control, product development and improving quality. But at the end everything comes down to success and prosperity of the organization and organization's success depends on its work force. If an organization’s employees are unhappy or dissatisfied, then it is likely that overall organizational effectiveness suffers. Because “there is a clear suggestion, that effective communication promotes organizational cohesion and effectiveness” (Hargie & Tourish, 2000,). Communication is a very important part of an organization. There are evidence that suggest more is better when it comes to internal communication. The value of quality internal communication and its relationship to organizational efficiency and effectiveness has been widely recognized (Stayer and How, 1990; Clampitt and Downs, 1993; Hargie et al., 2003b). It has been argued that Effective communication is a vital ingredient of attempts to increase participation, secure the widespread ownership of corporate goals and implement such programmes as total quality management (Hargie and Tourish, 1993). In addition, communication effectiveness is also perceived as central to management and organizational theory (Whetten and Cameron, 1991; Eden, 1993). Practitioners see internal communication as an important, challenging area (Robertson, 2004, p. 17; FitzPatrick, 2004, p. 19)...

...can be considered ambiguous because they have an objective, critical component, but also a motivational component in the form of constructive feedback. In organizations, feedback is considered as a first step to improvement and personal development. This makes it an important resource fuelling our motivation at work (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007). However, if information is likely to be negative, media choice can be crucial in delivering the feedback (Fulk & Mani, 1986). In our western society it is not done to send negative personal feedback by e-mail. In such a situation, F2F interaction is preferred. The question is, what is in best concern of the employee? The space between the sender of the feedback (manager) and the receiver (employee) is regulated by the context of the interaction and by the history of the relationship between the two (Lave, 1993). Positive feedback is not that difficult to deliver because it usually makes the receiver happier. Media choice is also no issue, since positive messages are less ambiguous and more easily interpretable than negative messages. However, many people have a natural reluctance in communicating undesirable feedback, which is in the literature known as the “mum effect” (Rosen & Tesser, 1970). This effect can be explained in the expectations of the sender that the news (s)he is going to deliver can be psychologically unpleasant for both the receiver and the sender (e.g., Maynard, 1996; Tesser & Rosen, 1975). Before the communication begins...
