Developing the Public Relations Campaign or The Role of Foreign Direct Investment in East Asian Economic Development

Developing the Public Relations Campaign: A Team-Based Approach

Author: Randy Bobbitt

Developing the Public Relations Campaign takes a simple, easy-to-follow approach that helps students develop a public relations campaign in a service-learning environment.

This text is designed for courses that use a team project approach rather than a traditional lecture/note-taking model. It introduces a three-step process—the PIE chart—that more accurately describes the campaign development process used in the real world than the traditional RACE formula. Its practical approach, with exercises and case studies in every chapter, will guide students through the development of their own public relations campaigns.

Features

  • Uses a service-learning approach that exposes students to worthy community causes and fits into most schools' existing service-learning programs.
  • Emphasizes the team project approach (compatible with the competitive agency model as well as other forms of team projects) helping students learn how to work in teams in class as well as in the real-world.
  • Offers one or more case studies per chapter, helping students learn from real-world examples.

    The Role of Foreign Direct Investment in East Asian Economic Development

    Author: Takatoshi Ito

    The international flow of long-term private capital has increased dramatically in the 1990s. In fact, many policymakers now consider private foreign capital to be an essential resource for the acceleration of economic growth. This volume focuses attention on the microeconomic determinants and effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the East Asian region, allowing researchers to explore the overall structure of FDI, to offer case studies of individual countries, and to consider their insights, both general and particular, within the context of current economic theory.
