Dynamics of Internet usage on corporate communication in Kenya.

      Аннотация: The proliferation of social media has revolutionized corporate communications world-over. The book delves deeper on the use of the social media as a strategic corporate communication medium. The Internet as an innovative platform housing multiple channels of communication is largely responsible for the presence of businesses on the web space. As a result, businesses soon find themselves in a position, not only to feed Internet channels with content but also to manage the content vis-?-vis content on other platforms. In the context of the Kenyan University settings, this calls the attention of public relations (PR) practitioners who are positioned in the corporate affairs department to manage the image of the institutions they represent by use of the social media platforms. The book, therefore, roots for the usage of internet, as well as emphasizing the need to gain an understanding of the emerging issues in corporate branding with respect to the Internet as a communicative tool for businesses and image building. Although the literature has little evidences from Kenyan contexts, theoretical arguments indicate many uses of the Internet for business communication by PR practitioners.
