Journal Title: Актуальні питання масової комунікації; Current issues of mass communication - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 23
Abstract
Lately, a special attention has been paid to business socialization development as a very im-portant aspect of the activity. Business activity relates not only to manufacturing material val-ues or commodity exchange, but also to achievement of socially meaningful objectives and spreading universal values. It is through dialogue between the people and business, the company is finding its place in the general system of moral and spiritual values, adapts to the conditions of the social environment and creates favourable relations with it. So far, the processes of socializa-tion of business were considered mainly from the point of view of management. The purpose of this research is to explicate the concept of business socialization in the view of its social and communicative nature. By means of systematization, generalization, structural-functional description and other meth-ods of analysis of theoretical sources, the reflection of the notion of business socialization is considered. The connection with the principles of corporate social responsibility, scientific and practical approaches in the field of corporate communications and public relations is deter-mined. Besides, the role and specificity of communications, features of the use of modern com-munication channels in the processes of business socialization are determined in the study. It is concluded that the concept of socialization of business should be considered from the standpoint of social communications as a kind of public relations, connected with the formation of public opinion and the harmonization of social relations. Socialization occurs during the inter-action of business with a society through the systematic implementation of the principles of CSR in the strategy of development of companies. Communications in this context are seen as a system process, a tool for dialogue with the public environment and as a reputation manage-ment. In the future, the vector of socialization should complement and deepen the traditional under-standing of PR-activities. As a communication tool and image management, socialization of business must become a leverage, capable of changing the internal motivation of business, influ-encing its strategy, focusing on the true material and spiritual needs of society.
