Feedback management is not listed as a separate function; feedback is part of the overall communication process, not a standalone function here. Option B, Providing information is correct. Providing information is essential for members to establish healthy relationships and to know the how and why of their undertakings, which supports goal achievement.

emphasized by the voice while speaking, behaviors

Which of the following features distinguish written and spoken language?

Açıklama:
There are several ways in which written language differs from speaking. In an environment of simultaneous interaction, the speaker can adjust the contents and the delivery of the message based on the listener’s reactions. However, in the case of written language, this is not possible. Given that written language requires a planned execution, its creation takes time. However, during the course of a speech, translating our thoughts into words and communicating them takes a very short amount of time. Due to this, it is natural that written texts may include a more complex and well thought out vocabulary. Another reason behind the relatively complex vocabulary of written texts is that writers seek to use different words than their peers to avoid mediocrity and repetitiveness. Written texts are far more permanent compared to spoken words.

In this model, there is a high level of centralisation. entralisation. The ranks of communication consist of a “Y” model at the beginning or at the end.

Açıklama:
Different types of corporate culture gives the corporation an identity and value, thus distinguishing it from others. In other words, the researchers who are interested in the corporate culture have created different classifications in accordance with the content of the culture, its strength and type of management, and they have talked about the existence of corporate culture types.
Power Culture: In this type of corporation, power and supervision is concentrated in one hand so, the communication structure also exhibits centralised characteristics. Decisions are not made with an understanding of participatory management but they are made by the people who are a part of the top-level management. Corporate structure is very simple. Bureaucratic practices are not common. Thanks to these characteristics, decisions can be made very quickly when the corporation is faced with a potential emergency (Gürgen, 1997: 169). In this culture, people with authority are the ones that are dominant. Other employees serve the purpose of meeting the expectations of the ones with power and authority.
Role Culture: The division of labour that is needed for specialisation gave rise to the role culture. Role culture is another name for a bureaucratic corporation that works on the principles of logic and rationality. In these types of corporations, everything is systematic. Work is carried out in a disciplined manner and under the guidance of previous experiences. Role culture is slow when it comes to reacting to change. However, it gives individuals the feeling of security and the opportunity to know things beforehand (Akıncı, 1998:62). Corporations in this type of culture are called bureaucratic corporations because functional structures, job descriptions and processes are all in writing. In this type of corporate culture, a manager’s personal whims and reckless practices are minimized.
Task Culture: is the type of culture where adaptation can be achieved very quickly, the focus is on finishing a job and all members of the corporation are unified in line with the objectives of the corporation. This culture is mostly interested in finishing a project or a particular job. Things needed in order to be successful and respected are creativity, talent, intuition and innovative approach. Power is not concentrated in the centre or in the hands of the upper tier.
Personal Culture: In corporations adopting this type of culture, the corporation serves the individual not the other way around. The existence of the corporation is less important than the existence of the individual. Hence, the corporation cannot dismiss an individual from its ranks. If the individual wishes, they can leave the corporation with their free will. Management power is divided among individuals and is based on expertise. The current corporate structure is there to ensure that individuals’ needs are met and that they are supported (Terzi, 2000: 79). In this culture, individuals can maintain their style, personality and freedom.

llow-up. Just like media follow-up companies, there are businesses who specialise in media content analysis. Media content analysis systems are getting more and more advanced every day and with the possibilities that statistics provide, satisfying reports can be prepared. For instance, these reports can show critical information such as whether the media news stories reached the target audience or not, whether they focused on the main topic or whether they contained the messages of the institution or not (Aydede, 2001:64). Also, media content analysis allows for benchmarking (comparison with rivals), determination and tracking of important topics. Media content analysis can also give information about how the institution was perceived in the past; which allows it to become an important base for future planning. If we assume that media news reflects the thoughts and the leanings of the public, the data provided by the media content analysis could be seen as a barometer that could be used as an early warning

Transparency: Being insensitive towards the problems of journalists who act as fact checkers in the name of the public, not giving them information and refraining from making statements due to “confidentiality”, damages an institution’s reputation. The media’s questions should be openly answered. If need be, they should be supported with documents. Believable and reasonable explanations should be given. From time to time, even though the public relations people or the institutions do not like it, statements about “bad” or “negative” news stories should be shared with the media. If the public does not receive information from the institution, especially during times of crisis, and in extraordinary situations, news stories will be based on “hearsay” and this will hurt the reputation of the institution even more.

When the written press is concerned, there are certain unions of assessment and evaluation. Their goal is “to assess and evaluate communication activities and create a world-wide common language and related standards”. There is no such consensus for the digital media yet. However, even though we cannot talk about a complete agreement, there are certain assessment and evaluation techniques that are being used. The most important part of these techniques is that they use the CPM (Cost Per Mile) value as a multiplier in digital marketing activities.
In addition to this multiplier, the following factors are used in determining the calculation of the value:
• The number of visitors of the web site that shares the content
• The content’s location in the headline area
• The length of time that the content stayed in the headlines
• The category that the content was published in (economy, technology etc.)
These are the minimum number of variables that affect the advertisement equivalence.

The model asserts that the advertisement effects occur in a period of time. The condition that occurs at the time of exposure to the advertisement may not create a behavioral reaction or purchase behavior; instead, a series of effects must occur, where each step is completely performed before the consumer passes to the next stage in the hierarchy.

By this way, the effect concept is much detailed and can be replaced only
with a message, which is active, which has affinity, which is central, deep, controlled, systematic or which will cause careful processing (different uses in the area terminology).
