  24. Public relations takes a broad view of an organization’s environment by attending to a wide range of issues and relationships with stakeholders. Public relations is part of strategic management, seeking to avoid or solve problems through a goal-directed process. Public relations outcomes must be quantified and measured. This requires a detailed understanding and assessment of what’s happening now and of desired future states. Core Axioms of Public Relations: 1-23

  25. Strategic planning begins by identifying the current conditions motivating the process, the contributing forces and actors in the situation, the objectives to be achieved with each target public, and the overall program goal. Public relations programs outline how the organization will get from where it is, to where it wants to be. Public relations initiatives must have senior management’s support and cooperation, and cannot be isolated from other operations. Core Axioms of Public Relations (continued): 1-24

  26. Success or failure depends more on what the organization does than on what it says, unless the communication itself becomes a problem. Success, however, requires a coordinated program of deeds and words. Success also requires that all actions, communication and outcomes are ethical, legal, and consistent with the organization’s social responsibility. Ultimately, success will be judged by the organization’s impact on society and culture—as will the character and professional careers of the public relations practitioners who helped plan and implement its programs. Core Axioms of Public Relations (continued): 1-25

  27. What Purposes does Public Relations Serve in Society? • Its social function—its mission—is achieved when public relations facilitates adjustment and maintenance in the social systems that provide us with our physical and social needs. 1-26
