Description of the exam
procedure
The student is expected to draw actively,
explicitly and correctly on relevant parts of
the course material in order to identify and analyse one or several
communication issues in their own company. The analysis can,
for example, include dimensions such as critical stakeholders,
identity, crisis communication, management, autocommunication or
transparency.

| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
In complex, volatile and sometimes hostile environments, it is
necessary for organizations to work professionally with their
communication. Increasingly, therefore, organizations consider
and handle communication as a strategic management
issue. As a consequence, communication tasks increasingly
go beyond formal organizational boundaries and involve many
different professional disciplines.
The course presents and discusses the practical implications of
these changes by drawing on a variety of literatures, including
theories of strategy, organization, public relations, marketing and
management.
The aim is to make it possible for participants to understand
how organizations work with strategic communication in practice,
how they seek to communicate more effectively and how different
ways of communicating shape an organization and its relationships
with the outside world.
