Organisationskommunikation und Public Relations

Zusammenfassung

This article develops an outline of alternative public relations research. In order to unravel this outline we first explain how academic public relations can be described in research and education. To unfold an alternative idea we then introduce the programmatic draft “Make Social Science Matter“ by Bent Flyvbjerg including his differentiation between Episteme, Techne and Phronesis based on Aristotle.
