CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

We all believe in communication, we also say that any management which endorses good communication I house and externally in enlightened. Why anyone should be regarded as enlightened in simple propagating and explaining their own policy or point of view escapes the researcher. As Thenry Tamas put it, it must be part less to work in the dark or pursuing a relentless cheep-hidden train of thought to make you light lender a bush.

Public relation as one of the making promotional tools is now an important part of modern business management is not realized. This is because public relations is often suspect and is equated in the eyes of some members of the public with an attempt to deceive to pull the wool over our eyes, yet this is the very opposite of it’s real purpose which is to explain that which may not be fully apparent and to remove prejudice and misunderstanding based on ignorance of the facts.

In the highly competitive word in which we are however, it is not enough merely to be view one must be seen to be virtuous. Public relation takes account of this need to focus public attention on the favourable aspects of a company’s activities. By so doing, it endeavours to create a good climate of opinion in which the organization can pursue it’s legitimate aims.

The task of public relation therefore is to ensure that the organization is seen to have an effective and valuable influence upon the well being of the trade or industry in which it operates. A good public image is not something that occurs accidentally it requires conscious effort and that effort needs to be channeled to be effective.
