Personal ethics can be influenced by people, culture, philosophy, law, and religion.

Organizations have a responsibility to address ethics both formally through policies and mission statements, and informally through individuals and management behavior.

This document discusses qualitative research methods. It defines qualitative research as aiming to gather an in-depth understanding of human behavior. Qualitative research is described as subjective, interpretive, and focused on answering "what" and "why" questions. The document contrasts qualitative and quantitative methods, noting that qualitative research typically involves fewer respondents, observation, and coding of responses, while quantitative research relies on larger sample sizes and tabulation of results. Examples of qualitative methods provided include ethnographic research, focus groups, interviews, and literature reviews. The document then provides examples of how qualitative coding and ensuring intercoder reliability could be applied to analyzing the State of the Union address, television drug ads, and a focus group about Super Bowl ads.
Secondary research involves summarizing, collecting, and synthesizing existing data rather than primary data collection methods. It can be as rigorous as primary research and helps clients solve problems. Some disadvantages are that it may not find specific data needed and sources vary in quality. Secondary research was important for James Michener's novel "Texas" and is virtually impossible to conduct effective paid media without syndicated research sources that provide data on audiences.
There are 1.5 million non-profits with an estimated $2.6 trillion in assets. Some are huge operations including the United Way, Red Cross, American Cancer Society and the YMCA. Some lobby. Some compete against non-profits. They all compete against each other for donations. All face compassion fatigue, and many run into PR difficulties ... or worse (see Lance Armstrong and Livestrong). They may not be for profit and for the most part they are well respected, but they still need reputation and brand management in our 24-7-365 digital society.
Brands may be 30 percent of Wall Street value. They need to be enhanced and protected. There are limits to brand management. The Federal Trade Commission regulates false advertising (e.g., Skechers). FedEx has come into contact with the Green Washing line. Ditto for KFC and Pink Washing. Shameless 5-hour ENERGY leaped over the Pink Washing divide. Firms need to guard against false advertising, green washing, pink washing and astroturfing (e.g., social media masquerades).
Manage or Be Managed? That is the question. Intangible brands may be hard to measure, but they equate to 30 percent of total Wall Street values. Some even see them as needing to be listed as "assets" on balance sheets. In this 24/7/365 digital world, what are the best and most effective strategies to protect brand equity. Yep, it is manage or be managed.
The Era of Big Data is upon us. We are attempting to rise above complexity on steroids. We address B2B, B2C, B2G and now B2C2C business segments. Our IMC campaigns must include owned, paid and earned communications platforms. And today's three major technology drivers: social, mobile and cloud. What is the evolving strategy to rise above the noise of our Big Data world?
It's zero dark thirty. The choppers are coming for a landing. You know what is coming next. You are asked by a reporter about rumors of a surgical strike. Your mom told you to always tell the truth. Do you?
Presidential press secretaries Jody Powell and Larry Speakes were both confronted with the same difficult choice.
This document discusses the evolution of communications platforms from traditional earned, owned, and paid media to their modern digital forms. It outlines how Moore's law and disruptive technologies like printing, broadcasting, and the internet have transformed the communications landscape. Now, earned media involves extensive digital public relations and social media engagement. Paid media encompasses diverse digital advertising channels. And owned media centers on self-publishing across an organization's website and social media platforms. The document stresses that digital content is permanent and owned media remains important alongside earned and paid strategies.

- Social media has democratized communications, allowing anyone to share content with just a few clicks. It is ubiquitous but not monolithic, with many different platforms and formats.
- Major social media companies like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn have grown enormously, some going public with multibillion-dollar valuations, showing the major impact and business potential of social media.

Are Baby Boomers late adopters or worse yet, laggards, when it comes to technology? That may be the perception, but is that the reality? It seems that Baby Boomers have a PR problem as it applies to competing with younger generations in the coming years.
Germany has undergone a transformation from the Holocaust during World War II to becoming a normalized country. In 1945 after Nazi defeat, Germans faced guilt over the Holocaust. But authors like Thomas Mann expressed hope for a new Germany that was part of Europe rather than dominating it. Since then, Germany rebuilt itself economically and politically despite occupation and division. It acknowledged and repented for its Nazi past. Reunification followed the fall of the Berlin Wall. Germany is now known for economic success, environmentalism, women's empowerment, and high-quality manufactured goods. It has achieved a public relations miracle in overcoming its dark history.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
