From an early age kids learn that their good performance and efforts will be rewarded. Unfortunately, not all leaders in the media industry are rewarded or given the same opportunities to exercise their communicative leadership, according to studies in media research. The aim of our study is to highlight female managers' experiences of their communicative leadership in the Swe-dish media industry. This study was based on qualitative interviews with four female respondents in management positions. The core of the study concerns female communicative leadership and interpersonal communication. We can draw the conclusion that female leaders perceive that their communicative role tends to be collaborative and that effective leadership is first and fore-most a matter of communication skills.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the role that internal marketing and internal communications play in transferring the corporate identity to the members of the organization Background: Having a strong corporate identity can be a competitive advantage. However, few organizations are willing to devote the time and money it takes to ensure that everyone within the organization are fully aware of the corporate identity. One way to spread the corporate identity within the organization is through internal marketing. Many different activities fall under the concept internal marketing one of them being internal communications. One problem with this is that most organizations are more willing to make sure that their external stakeholders know of their corporate identity and they willingly throw money into advertising campaigns without informing the employees. Method: The investigation is based on a qualitative method in form of a case study where Riksbyggen was used. Five employees were interviewed and the results are presented in the empirical findings. Later the data was analyzed along with the frame of reference. Conclusion: The research found that Riksbyggen does not use their internal marketing to a large extent to spread their corporate identity. They use other internal marketing activities, e.g. internal training, bonus system, health care and funding to take courses that are unrelated to their work. The evidence that those activities actually spread the corporate identity might not be clearly visible to everyone. However, when analyzing Riksbyggen’s values, vision, history and through interviewing the employees it was clear that they embodied the corporate identity of Riksbyggen.

Internal communication is pivotal for the effectiveness of company procedures and ultimately the success of the company. Understanding more about the communicative needs of different employee groups is therefore important in order to convey a message in a satisfying manner to those employees. This explorative study is investigating communication preferences from a stakeholder perspective to find out what influences the appropriateness of using different communication channels when transmitting information to different stakeholder groups. Interviews with employees at different levels and functions at PostNord were conducted and analysed. We conclude that the top level stakeholder prefers face-to-face communication due to complex topics being discussed with a high need for feedback. The stakeholder at the middle organisational level preferred e-mail due to being constantly interrupted and therefore need to access information at later times. The bottom level consisted of two stakeholder groups that had high degree, respectively low degree of customer interaction. They both preferred face-to-face, for reasons that had grounds in strict working schedules and work tasks - they were not given time to take in information properly in any other way than scheduled meetings, and the stakeholder with low customer interaction mostly worked alone which made this stakeholder value meetings with other colleagues.

Yes / Purpose: Storytelling is claimed to be an effective way of communicating corporate strategy within organisations. However, previous studies have tended to focus holistically on storytelling in organisations rather than investigating how different groups may use and be influenced by stories. This paper addresses these gaps in the literature by investigating how storytelling in internal communication can either support or subvert corporate strategy. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative study was conducted into storytelling in two large companies in the UK energy industry. Data was collected through 70 semi-structured interviews, documentary research, and observation research. Impression management theory was used to analyse how stories supported or subverted corporate strategy. Findings: Storytelling by employees in the corporate and customer service areas of the organisations showed the greatest support for corporate strategy. There was more subversive storytelling in the operational areas, particularly by lower level employees. Stories subverted corporate strategy by recounting incidents and encouraging behaviour that contradicted the organisation’s vision/goals and values. Originality/value: The study shows the important contribution of employees to the collective sensemaking process in organisations, by narrating supportive or subversive stories. Engaging employees in storytelling can enhance support for corporate strategy, however managers should also see subversive stories as an opportunity to identify and address problems in the organisation.

Estando há dois anos inserida no ambiente organizacional da empresa PI Acessórios LTDA, foi possível perceber problemas de comunicação interna, tais como: informações que se perdiam, assuntos não resolvidos, problemas de relacionamento, fofocas, ruídos na comunicação, clima organizacional tenso, dúvidas nas tarefas de cada um e problemas na produção. Por isto, a pesquisadora escolheu propor um plano de comunicação interna para a empresa. Por plano de comunicação interna entenda-se uma ferramenta estratégica de compatibilização dos interesses dos empregados e da empresa, por meio do estímulo ao diálogo, à troca de informações e de experiências e à participação de todos os níveis. Para direcionar a pesquisa foram escolhidos seis fatores principais relacionados ao plano de comunicação, com base no estudo da International Association of Business Communicators (IABC): Liderança, Comunicação, Motivação, Gerenciamento, Mensuração e Feedback. Um plano de comunicação interna provê a organização com uma direção clara e coordenação dos processos, estabelece uma estrutura de trabalho, deixa explícito quem é responsável por cada função, define orçamentos e cronogramas e cria um benchmark para a mensuração de resultados. Garante também que se tenha o maior impacto possível com o orçamento disponível. Para tanto, a comunicação interna deve ser entendida de forma integral, permeando todas as ações organizacionais, viabilizando de maneira permanente a construção de sua cultura e identidade, e marcando um estilo próprio e suas formas de projetar-se exteriormente (a construção de sua imagem). A comunicação interna é um meio para desenvolver a empresa. É necessário que as informações sejam tratadas como um ativo (que tem que ser gestionado) e um recurso (que tem que ser aproveitado). Ela permite criar um clima de confiança, motivação, relacionamento e comunicação por parte dos colaboradores dentro da empresa. Assim, foi realizado um estudo de caso de natureza qualitativa e descritiva, por meio de uma pesquisa aplicada a todos os funcionários como também para a direção, observações, e-mails, conversas informais, skypes. O resultado do levantamento evidenciou e analisou os seis fatores acima relacionados a fim de que os funcionários se envolvam e participem ativamente na organização, bem como demonstrou a real necessidade da criação de um plano de comunicação interna na empresa. Sendo assim, o plano de comunicação interna proposto será avaliado e aplicado a partir dos resultados mensurados conforme a pesquisa aplicada e conforme a aprovação do cronograma. / Being two years ago inserted in the company's organizational environment PI Accessories LTDA, it was revealed internal communication problems, such as information that is lost, unresolved issues, relationship issues, gossip, noise in communication, tense organizational climate, doubts in each task and problems in production. Therefore, the researcher chose to propose an internal communication plan for the company. For internal communication plan is meant a strategic tool for aligning the interests of employees and the company, through the stimulus to dialogue, exchange of information and experience and participation at all levels. To direct the research were chosen six main factors related to the communication plan, based on the study of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC): Leadership, Communication, Motivation, Management, Measurement and Feedback. An internal communication plan provides the organization with a clear direction and coordination of procedures, establishes a framework, makes it clear who is responsible for each function, set budgets and schedules and creates a benchmark for measuring results. It also ensures that it has the greatest possible impact with the available budget. Therefore, internal communication must be understood fully, permeating all organizational actions, enabling permanently the construction of their culture and identity, and scoring an own style and ways of projecting outwardly (building your image ). Internal communication is a means to develop the company. It is necessary that the information is treated as an asset (which has to be gestionado) and a resource (which has to be used). It allows you to create a climate of trust, motivation, relationship and communication by employees within the company. Thus, we conducted a case study of qualitative and descriptive nature, through a survey applied to all employees as well as to the direction, comments, emails, informal conversations, Skypes. The result of the survey showed and analyzed the six factors listed above in order that the employees involved and actively participate in the organization and demonstrated the real need to create an internal communications plan in the company. Thus, the proposed internal communication plan will be evaluated and applied from the results measured as applied research and according to the approved schedule.
