Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of this course is to introduce the functioning of institutional communication and to examine the effects of communication on the formation of institutional image by focusing especially on administrative issues. The course requires students to understand the intra-institutional and non-institutional communication processes and learn how to conduct both communication lines in a harmonious manner. The processing of the issues will be enriched with sample case studies and discussed within the framework of corporate reputation management. In the second part of the course, it is emphasized that the institutional future strategies are shaped through the concepts of "institutional identity" and "institutional change". This section will be enriched with corporate reputation studies and visual identity principles and will be supported by in-class projects.

Course Content:

Developing corporate communication strategies and tactics
Defining the basic stages of corporate communication processes
Understanding the basic concepts of corporate communication
Providing solutions for corporate communication problems and crises
Understanding the importance of corporate communication in public relations discipline
