De Beer, Estelle UCTD Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2014. The creation of value in and for organisations and societies has become a major area of interest in the triple context environment of people, planet and profit. The role of communication in this process prompted this study, guided by the following fundamental research question: How can strategic communication management be conceptualised in a triple context environment, considering the shared expectations between top management and communicators about communication excellence, with specific reference to the business cycle and the communication cycle of the organisation? The study followed a grounded theory methodology (Strauss and Corbin) and was conducted in three phases of triangulation: Phase 1: Two literature cases were compiled and analysed. The first consisted of four slices of data, which guided the compilation of the second case (540 academic articles). The data were analysed through the hierarchical process of open coding, axial coding and selective coding, which resulted in a preliminary framework for the grounded theory. Phase 2: Six empirical field studies were conducted by means of desk research and interviews. The data were analysed by using the hierarchical coding process with the aim of developing the concluding framework. Phase 3: The substantive grounded theory was compared with the Excellence theory, while a case study of best practice, illustrating the pragmatic applicability of the theory, was also presented. The integrative strategic communication management theory developed in this research, illustrates the core considerations in the communicative ambit of the organisation as it functions in the triple context environment. In the demanddelivery linkage of shared expectations between top management and communicators, the management categories of a sustainability orientation, inclusive corporate governance approach, and integrative strategic management and strategy development were identified as causal conditions for the phenomenon of the conceptualisation of strategic communication management in a triple context environment. In this context, the communication management categories of conscious internal and external communication and mutually beneficial stakeholder relationships serve as intervening conditions for reflective stewardship when facilitating core competencies and dynamic capabilities in the co-creation of value. The outcomes of this process are a good corporate reputation and communicative capacity built through communicative currency, capital, equity and value. lk2014 Communication Management PhD Unrestricted 2015-01-19T12:13:27Z 2015-01-19T12:13:27Z 2014/12/12 2014 Thesis De Beer, E 2014, The conceptualisation of strategic communication management in a triple context environment, PhD Thesis, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/43311> D14/9/66 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/43311 en © 2014 University of Pretoria.
