Therefore, public relations and corporate communications could be clearly differentiated as simply having different goals. Public relations might focus on functional, societal, and organizational outcomes with the purpose of building mutually beneficial relationships between key stakeholders instead of succumbing to the temptation of searching for a magic empirical/monetary measurement method that appeals to senior managers. Corporate communications might acknowledge that it is an amalgam of more established fields, such as public relations, marketing, and organizational communication, and that its priority is related to business outcomes, such as earnings, sales, and market share, to communication, even if these are to be pursued at the expense of other societal goals.
