The Conference “Business Communication Strategies Through Support For Creative Industries. Empirical Cases of Portugal and China” will take place on 21 March, from 6:30 – 7:30 PM, in Don Bosco Auditorium.
About the Talk:
In this Conference, I will lay out some of the issues that need to be addressed when thinking about and studying how philanthropy impacts communities, in addition to providing an introduction to the literature on philanthropy, marketing, communication, and social development.
Philanthropy is one of several tools available in an organization allowing them to communicate by giving their support to social initiatives. Among the various components of integrated corporate communication, known as communication mix in the scientific literature (Lendrevie, 2010) philanthropy is, undoubtedly, at once one of the most important and one of the least studied. The present Conference delves into the evolution of the concept of philanthropy in Portugal, based on empirical Portuguese case studies, with the influences of Chinese companies over time and the ambiguous relationship it has always established between interest and altruism, power and generosity, and the values of Confucianism. There is, however, a constant element on the part of the philanthropies: the intention and the power to communicate. The varying element throughout time is not communication, but the intentionality of the message and the means available to estimate its effectiveness with the target audience. In the West, philanthropy has grown, primarily using Foundations and individual persons. In this Conference, it is argued that underlying the strategic options of the “new philanthropy”, there are image and branding enhancement and individual reputation interests, as well as social and civically responsible. However, motivations influenced by cultural values vary according to the political, international, political, and socio-economic contexts. The approach is interdisciplinary, grounded in the theoretical field of Communication Sciences inserted in the Social and Human Sciences and following a qualitative and quantitative methodology. Based on research, sets out to explore, within an analytical framework of Institutional Communication the purposes of communication underneath the cover of the kindness of rich men and well-known persons.
Therefore, the distinction between the concepts of philanthropy and the new concept of philanthrocapitalism. They lead us to the insight of the corporate image, branding, and institutional reputation. Inscribed in this correspondence we work out our “case studies”, to which we apply a theoretical model, thereby purporting to give an epistemological contribution to the existing scientific literature on the subject in Portugal and Asia influence in Portugal.
