‘Some textbooks treat PR as though it is a branch of moral philosophy. Such an approach leaves most PR practitioners bemused and is of limited practical use.’ (Morris & Goldsworthy 2012, 41) The grand narrative of the public relations-field in the 20th and 21st century arguably is that of professionalization.

Issue of study: A forecasted increase in energy demand and consumption, together with a decrease of existing oil and gas reserves, has led the oil and gas producers to new areas beyond the conventional oil and gas regions. The Arctic, an area mainly located north of the Arctic Circle, is believed to hold very large potential of the world’s yet-to-be discovered oil and gas reserves. In addition, th

Our main findings are that Swedish cross-border M&A’s on average perform positively around the announcement of cross-border M&A’s, which is contrary to previous studies. Furthermore, we also find cultural distance to positively impact the announcement effect of cross-border M&A’s, also contradictive to previous findings. However, we cannot ensure that cultural distance itself affects t
