This chapter concentrates on knowledge-flow diagnosis and intervention in the private, not-for-profit sector. We look first at a national youth soccer organization. The discussion turns then to examine a local tennis club. The final case examines a nondenominational community church. In each case, we draw in part from secondary data sources for the background. This should prove helpful to the reader who is interested in following up to consider more details than presented in this volume. Here we also draw considerably from our own research and personal experience to fill in missing information, and we apply principles and techniques of this book to contribute new insights through examination of knowledge flows in the cases. Each application case concludes with exercises to stimulate critical thought, learning, and discussion.

Each application case concludes with exercises to stimulate critical thought, learning, and discussion. In conjunction with the principles articulated in Section 1 of the book, the application cases explain how organizations from across a very wide range of sizes and domains both succeed and fail at harnessing dynamic knowledge; hence, through case-based reasoning, they provide both positive and negative examples for the leader and manager to use in comparison with his or her own organization.

Dr Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd (DRL) was one of India’s success stories in the pharma space, wherein a founder’s dream turned into a reality. It had a remarkable growth over three decades, with impeccable quality and regulatory standards, as it went on to become the number-two pharma company in India by sales. However, in the last 3 years, DRL was navigating one of the most challenging times it had ever faced for various reasons. Sales were stagnated, profits had plunged, costs had spiralled and manufacturing sites grappled with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues—and more importantly, its growth strategies were not delivering results. This resulted in value erosion, reduced number of new product approvals, customers doubting the capabilities, competitors doing much better, etc. Also, it questioned whether DRL continued to be the bellwether or not for the Indian pharma fraternity as competitors raced ahead. This case highlights the global and Indian context of the pharma industry, along with details of three main competitors based on secondary data sources, and analyses the ongoing issues in DRL. Finally, it concludes by highlighting the six decision buckets and the way forward to make DRL a bellwether again in the Indian pharma industry.

Las relaciones públicas deben concebirse como un proceso de gestión de las relaciones al servicio de la gestión de la comunicación de las corporaciones y las instituciones. En este contexto, el objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar la Ceremonia de entrega de los Premios Princesa de Asturias como una técnica específica de relaciones públicas institucionales orientada a la legitimación y notoriedad de la Casa Real y los sucesivos Herederos a la Corona ante la opinión pública nacional e internacional, trasladando la imagen de continuidad y normalidad democrática. Para lograr la consecución de este objetivo principal, este trabajo realiza una revisión teórica sustentada en el uso de fuentes de datos secundarios, fundamentalmente bibliográficos y archivísticos. Los resultados evidencian utilidad de la organización de actos como herramienta de gestión de la opinión pública para vehicular y difundir los mensajes institucionales pertinentes en cada momento histórico.  _________________________Public relations should be conceived as a process of managing relationships at the service of communication management of corporations and institutions.
