In this qualitative case study, positioning itself within the social constructionist approach, we aimed to investigate and interpret identity narration and organizational identity in strategic external and internal communication at the health technology startup company Naava Group Oy. By analyzing three different datasets (Twitter, blog posts, and interviews), we examined how organizational identity was emerged and which way it was strategic in storytelling and narratives.

Viestinnän strateginen monitulkintaisuus : vaihtoehtoinen ratkaisu sidosryhmien odotustenhallintaan?
2020
Artikkelissa kerrotaan, mistä strategisessa monitulkintaisuudessa (Strategic ambiguity) on kyse, ja avataan, kuinka viestinnän ammattilaiset voivat hyödyntää sitä sidosryhmien odotustenhallinnassa. Strategista monitulkintaisuutta on havaittu esimerkiksi organisaatioiden tavoitteissa ja suunnitelmissa, joissa sen on huomattu mahdollistavan eriävien näkemysten ja erilaisten ryhmien toimimisen sulassa sovussa. Monitulkintaisuutta on yleisesti pidetty negatiivisena viestinnän elementtinä, ja sen tarkastelu laajemmassa viestinnän kontekstissa on ollut vähäistä tai se on määritelty suppeasti epäselvyydeksi tai läpinäkyvyyden puutteeksi. Artikkelissa esitellään, miksi organisaatioiden tulisi kiinn…
Digital strategic communication through digital media-arenas

This chapter examines the tension in strategic communication between a traditional message-controlling approach through digital media and a more nuanced …
