This quote shows us there are many discrepancies between both fields. This quantitative study was conducted by Miss Margalit Toledano, from the “Management Communication Department” of The University of Waikato, New Zealand. By using questions compiled in the form of a survey, 39 New Zealand practitioners were tested. The research problem, questioned the influence of inter-profession challenges, by examining the differences between the PR and advertising industries (Toledano 230). This research problem is significant, because the results of the study showed that PR practitioners were not able to take advantage of the technology, such as social media, in an effort to leverage their professional status or improve their position within the company. This problem is made worse, through the reality that both PR and advertising are still looking for ways to benefit from social media, and both industries are still in the infancy stage of using social media. This research is important because...

...CASE STUDIES PIZZA 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...

...Introduction International Public Relations Campaigns are increasingly used by states, non-government organisations and multinational companies to achieve specific objectives, purposes or goals, especially to improve the situations, to exploit the target markets or to solve problems of the organizations. Theoretically, a PR campaign has been defined as a “concerted effort of an organization to build socially responsible relationships by achieving research-based goals through the application of communication strategies and the measurement of outcomes” (Kendall 1996, p.3). This paper examines the value of the modern-day IPR practice through a case study from an overwhelmingly successful IPR campaign ‘Best Job in the World’ sponsored by Tourism Queensland, Australia. Firstly, the research methodology will be introduced. Secondly, an introduction of the campaign will be sketched. In the third section of the paper, the analysis of the campaign is structured in three subitems with theoretical references. In the following section, a post-hoc evaluation tries to examine the case through a logical model. Lastly, by drawing from the previous analysis and evaluation, the paper exposes the findings in the values of modern-day IPR campaign. Research Methodology When considering what research methodology is appropriate and shall be adopted in the course of analyzing and evaluating this IPR campaign, it is important to understand the patterns and attributes of the study case. In view of...

...Massachusetts Institute of Technology 6.042J/18.062J, Fall ’02: Mathematics for Computer Science Professor Albert Meyer and Dr. Radhika Nagpal Course Notes 10 November 4 revised November 6, 2002, 572 minutes Introduction to Probability 1 Probability Probability will be the topic for the rest of the term. Probability is one of the most important subjects in Mathematics and Computer Science. Most upper level Computer Science courses require probability in some form, especially in analysis of algorithms and data structures, but also in information theory, cryptography, control and systems theory, network design, artificial intelligence, and game theory. Probability also plays a key role in fields such as Physics, Biology, Economics and Medicine. There is a close relationship between Counting/Combinatorics and Probability. In many cases, the probability of an event is simply the fraction of possible outcomes that make up the event. So many of the rules we developed for finding the cardinality of finite sets carry over to Probability Theory. For example, we’ll apply an Inclusion-Exclusion principle for probabilities in some examples below. In principle, probability boils down to a few simple rules, but it remains a tricky subject because these rules often lead unintuitive conclusions. Using “common sense” reasoning about probabilistic questions is notoriously unreliable, as we’ll illustrate with many real-life examples. This reading is longer than usual . To keep things in bounds...

...China Media Research, 9(3), 2013, Zheng, Case Study of Audi’s Brand Repositioning in China A Case Study of Audi’s Brand Repositioning in China Lu Zheng University of Florida Abstract: Based on a comprehensive review of Audi’s press releases published from 1999 to 2007 and in-depth interviews with Audi’s public relations professionals, this case study identified media relations, event sponsorship, and corporate social responsibility as Audi’s main public relations strategies for its brand repositioning in the Chinese market. Each strategy and related tactics were first illustrated by specific examples and then surveyed in light of contemporary public relations and mass communication theories. [China Media Research. 2013; 9(3): 64-73] Key words: Audi, brand, reposition Introduction Audi, a subsidiary of German car manufacturer Volkswagen, entered the Chinese automobile market in 1988. In the late 1990s, or one decade after its China debut, Audi, with the help of Ruder Finn, a New-York based independent PR firm, began to implement a brand repositioning strategy in China. By the mid-2000s, thanks to its unremitting PR efforts, Audi has successfully repositioned itself from a government car brand to a premium car brand targeting successful business professionals (Ruder Finn, 2007). Since the launching of its China production in 1988, Audi was designated as the “premium government car brand” dedicated to serve high-rank government officials. In contrast, middle and low ranking government...

...public relations have become a necessity in a celebrity’s life in order to maintain a favorable image to further their career. Hollywood personalities often find themselves in interesting, it not bizarre situations, which often find their way to newspapers, magazines, the Internet, radio broadcasts, and TV news. Each particular situation calls for a specific action, but the initial goal is to ensure that the subsequent effects of the controversies are minimized. There are several ways available to achieve this but all PR specialists agree that more than anything, effective communication holds the key in solving all problems. The current research looked into the different roles that public relations play in order to build a reputation for Hollywood stars. In particular, the research aimed to address four questions: 1. When do the PR personnel of a Hollywood star need to consider rebuilding reputation and image? 2. Should a Hollywood star consider using negative PR for remaining in the top headlines of news? 3. Can a badly tarnished image and reputation of a Hollywood star be ever rebuilt? 4. What could be the best reputation rebuild strategies for a star suffering from a tarnished image for creating a long-term comeback? The Hollywood...

...Much has changed in the online world with the introduction of new media, in particular the explosion of social media. This has not only changed how people interact and communicate with each other, it has also had a massive effect on how consumers interact with organisations and businesses. With this in mind, public relations practitioners must now consider how to engage their audience whilst embracing social media as part of an integrated public relations strategy. The term “social media” commonly refers to online social networking sites and blogs and has been proclaimed as leading a universal change that allows instantaneous worldwide, connected communication (Weaver Lariscy et al., 2009, p.314). Where traditional public relations methods such as press releases and statements, can be viewed as being structured and more of a scripted and guarded approach (Anonymous, 2010, p.1), social media has the ability to facilitate a more open engagement method tailored for the target audience, which can be effectively implemented within a multi faceted approach to gain rapid momentum for the organisation as it grows and evolves. Ultimately social media can be the element of a public relations strategy that ‘cuts to the chase’ and delivers the desired messaging to the audience and engages by provided an opportunity for two-way communication and a forum for public opinion, both good and bad (Hudson, 2010, pp.210-1). With this in mind, social media tactics must be aligned with the organisations...

...Modification Experimental report | Creating a behaviour using operant conditioning Creating a behaviour using operant conditioning ABSTRACT The study aims to increase a desired behavior using operant conditioning. The subject of this study is a female American staffy, four years of age and the desired behavior is sitting unasked when entering or leaving a house, when entering a car and before crossing roads. The subject was involved in a three-week study, one week observing the usual behavior and two weeks of reinforcing the desired behavior. The desired behavior was achieved before the two weeks of reinforcing were completed. It shows that the study was successful, although the subject cannot give feedback or rate their mood towards the succession. Introduction: Operant conditioning is a kind of learning in which an animal or human performs some behavior, and the following consequence (reward or punishment) increases or decreases the chance that the same behavior will be performed again. Enforcing operant conditioning takes learning and memory, Learning is defined as ‘the cognitive process of acquiring skills or knowledge’ such as learning how to sit or walk, memory is defined as ‘an organism's ability to store, retain, and recall information’ such as remembering the consequence of a behaviour. A previous case of conditioning is the case of Little Albert conducted by john Watson in which a nine month old infant was confronted by a series of objects (teddy bears, a rat, a dog...
