Part III under the name of Internal Organizational Communications presents an impressive analyzes of use and efficiency of communication massages, audiences, instruments, channels, and tactics.
Part IV focuses on Researching the Functioning of the Internal Communications in Bulgaria and shows how companies and organizations actually go about their internal communications.
