This module provides the capability to identify relevant stakeholders, to choose the best communication channel to maximize impact, to identify the core elements of a successful branding strategy and to communicate value creation and impact of the RI. The emphasis is on the multi-stakeholder system of RI environments, stakeholders who have different characteristics and interests, and on the best ways and means to communicate strategic and value creation information.
