To help you keep up to speed with the exciting changes and developments of publications, this book will provide you with the necessary understanding of the problems and promises of public relations research, measurement, and evaluation. As a public relations professional, this book will act as a guide to effective use of methods, measures, and evaluation in providing grounded evidence of the success (or failure) of public relations campaigns. This outstanding contribution takes a best practices approach--one that focuses on taking the appropriate method and rigorously applying that method to collect the data that best answers the objectives of the research. It also presents an approach to public relations that focuses on establishing the profession's impact on the client's return on investment in the public relations function, whether that function be aimed at internal or external audiences using standardized measures. By the end of the book, you will understand why and how research is conducted and will be able to apply best practice standards to any research done by supply-side vendors or internal research departments. 410 0$a2014 digital library. 410 0$aPublic relations collection.$x2157-3476 606 $aPublic relations$xEvaluation 606 $aPublic relations$xResearch 610 $apublic relations 610 $anonfinancial indicators 610 $amedia analysis 610 $ameasurement 610 $ainterviewing 610 $agoals and objectives 610 $afocus groups 610 $aexperimentation 610 $aevaluation 610 $acontent analysis 610 $asurvey and poll research 610 $astatistical analysis 610 $astandardized measurement 610 $asecondary research 610 $asampling 610 $areturn on investment (ROI) 610 $areturn on expectation (ROE) 610 $aresearch 610 $aresearch methods 610 $aqualitative research 610 $aquantitative research 615 0$aPublic relations$xEvaluation. 615 0$aPublic relations$xResearch. 676 $a659.2 700 $aMichaelson$b David.$0868995 702 $aStacks$b Don W. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791042003321 996 $aA professional and practitioner's guide to public relations research, measurement, and evaluation$91940022 997 $aUNINA
