Review:

'The most impressive aspect of the fourth edition of Corporate Communication is Cornelissen's ability to achieve both integration and breadth. The early discussions of stakeholders, corporate identity, and corporate reputation provide a unifying theme for the rest of the book. What you find is a consistency that unities the broad range of topics that comprise corporate communication, including issues management and the new areas such corporate social responsibility and leadership and change. The reader is presented with a very coherent and complete presentation of corporate communication. Too often, books become disjointed as the range of topics expands, not so for Corporate Communication. It is an informative and enjoyable read.' -- W. Timothy Coombs 'This book is a treasure. When looking for a textbook for our new Master's Program, we were sceptical about finding anything that would be firmly theory based but at the same time applied and approachable. Luckily, a colleague recommended Corporate Communication, and it hit the target! For years, our students - and instructors alike - have enjoyed Cornelissen's book offering a comprehensive and credible view of the discipline and practices. The 4th edition aptly meets the demands of the 2010s with its updated sections on social media and stronger emphasis on the global nature of corporate communication. Much appreciated!' -- Leena Louhiala-Salminen 'Joep Cornelissen has done that most difficult of balancing acts: combining compelling theory with practical implementation in a comprehensive, yet very readable exploration of the topic. This latest edition of Corporate Communication re-affirms its status as a seminal book on the subject. It is an essential companion to the thinking practitioner and the academic concerned with practice.' -- Professor Anne Gregory PhD 'By compiling theory and research with practical cases and examples, Cornelissen has provided a thorough and, more importantly, up-to-date overview of this area of practice within organisations. Critical issues in managing corporate comms are discussed and it provides the reader with appropriate theories, concepts and tools to use in day-today practice.' -- Alex Duckett
