Comprehensive Guide to Grand Strategy in Public Relations: Theory, Practice, and Application

Grand Strategy, Strategy and Tactics in Public Relations: A Comprehensive Framework

This chapter introduces the strategic tool of grand strategy and outlines a classification system for the various grand strategies that frame and propel the dynamics between public relations clients, practitioners, and relationships. It also delineates three hierarchical stages in public relations planning and execution - grand strategy, strategy, and tactics - alongside their interconnected nature.

Previously explored theories are contextualized here as foundational elements leading up to this structured framework. This chapter builds upon previous knowledge by presenting an integrated perspective that connects theory and practice within the realm of public relations.

The concept of 'worldviews' is crucially introduced in relation to grand strategies, offering insight into how these broader perspectives significantly influence practitioners', clients', and stakeholders' expectations and actions within the industry.

A detled exploration of these hierarchical levels - starting from grand strategy which sets the overarching objectives and philosophies that guide a public relations initiative, descing through strategy which delves deeper into strategic decisions related to target audiences and specific goals, and finally tactics the executional steps taken to achieve set strategies - is provided. This breakdown elucidates how each level builds upon the preceding one.

Moreover, the chapter emphasizes the importance of understanding these relationships within the dynamic field of public relations. It highlights the need for practitioners to not only adhere to strategic planning but also to be adaptable in their execution of tactics and strategies according to changing circumstances or stakeholder responses.

The narrative offer a cohesive perspective that helps practitioners navigate the complexities of designing effective communication strategies while considering both theoretical underpinnings and practical implications. It serves as a foundational knowledge base for professionals looking to enhance their strategic acumen within public relations practice.
