The Corporate Communication track within the Master's Programme in Communication Science gives a broad understanding of the communication of commercial and non-profit organisations with their environment and society.

An important question within Corporate Communication is:

• How are communication strategies being developed, approved, implemented and evaluated?

A vital aspect to note is the public responsibility of organisations, especially in relation to public opinion and the public debate in the media.

The track features topics such as:

• corporate identity
• image and reputation management
• corporate branding
• theories of organisation culture and commitment theories
• communication in change processes
• crisis communication
