Practice exam questions:

 

1. Why is an understanding of culture useful in international public relations?

 

2. You have offered to write a PR proposal for a small charity. Which planning model would you recommend, and why?

 

3. How would you conduct a situational analysis for the same small charity? What tools would you use?

 

4. 'Awareness is easy - behaviour change is hard.' What does the situational theory of publics teach us about PR?

 

5. 'It's impossible to measure the outcome of a PR campaign.' Do you agree?

 

6. 'Public relations is just propaganda.' How can you defend PR against this charge - and argue that it's good for society?
