Technique Overview
Public Relations Definition
Public Relations are planned and sustained efforts to establish and maintain goodwill and mutual understanding between an organisation and the public (Pickton and Broderick, 2004). Good relations are developed with companies' various public audiences by obtaining favourable publicity, building up corporate image and handling of unfavourable rumours, stories and events (Kotler and Armstrong, 2009). As such, PR tabulates public attitudes and procedures in the interest of the organisation by executing action programmes to earn public acceptance (Tench and Yeomans, 2009).
