This book looks at how 14 of the world's top-performing companies, such as Hewlett-Packard and FedEx, have successfully integrated communications externally with their most profitable customers and stakeholders, vertically between senior management and front-line workers, and horizontally across departments and geographical boundaries. Gronstedt, a former professor at the U. of Colorado in integrated marketing communications, now runs a "think and do tank," consulting on the same topic. Annotation c.
