Research Currently in Progess

Logemann Dr., M. K., Medved, C., & Haddadin, Z.(n.d.). Strategic Communicator and Generative AI: An Exploration into Use, Adoption and Role Change. In Progress.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) represents a revolutionary advancement perhaps as significant as Gutenberg's printing press over 600 years ago. Historical shifts in communication technologies, from the printing press to the digital revolution marked by the emergence of the Internet and social media, continually reshape how we strategically communicate across key organizational stakeholders. Changes in communication technologies offer new opportunities for engagement and content creation but also ethical and practical challenges for today’s strategic communication professionals. Rapid integration of GAI into the workplace is shifting routines and tasks along with providing clear benefits, for example, increasingly personalized and efficient services, increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, and growth in companies' results (Vijayakumar, 2023).
