Sheffield University Management School is a triple-accredited business school with a world-class reputation for high quality teaching, ground-breaking research and cutting-edge thinking. Part of Britain's elite Russell Group of research-driven universities, it runs one of the few MBA programmes to involve a compulsory semester-long course on Integrated Marketing Communications. This 2006 presentation was given to MBA students at the school to outline the opportunities for public relations, the obstacles preventing PR from meeting its potential, and the solutions for both PR as a function, and for MBAs looking to move up in the industry.
