Programme of Events - Updated

May 23, 2011 by Helena Knight

Just to keep everyone posted on CaPRICoRN's progress, the majority of events will be held in the autumn semester 2011/2012.

Apologies to all who will no longer be available to attend but unfortunately, securing speaker has on this occasion proven more tricky than anticipated!

However, we have some exciting events planned, including a talk by the Head of Communications at Admiral Group, Louisa Scadden in late October. Details for the event will be announced soon.

We will also be organising a research methods workshop later that semester, not to mention another one of our social events to provide further networking opportunities for CaPRICoRN's existing and new members.

We look forward to seeing you all in the autumn!

Seminar on Private-Nonprofit Partnerships, Friday 28th May 2010, 1-3pm

May 05, 2010 by Helena Knight

The Cardiff Public Relations and Integrated Communications Research Network (CaPRICoRN) will be holding a Postgraduate Researchers Seminar on Private-Nonprofit Partnerships on Friday 28^th May 2010, 1-3pm in Room T23, Cardiff Business School. The guest speaker will be Dr. M. May Seitanidi from BRESE (Brunel Research on Enterprise, Sustainability & Ethics), Brunel University. Lunch will be provided at the beginning of the seminar.

About the Seminar

The seminar will commence with a general overview of cross sector partnerships and will then present the findings of a critical examination of the partnership phenomenon based on 75 interviews in businesses and nonprofit organisations in the UK. Two in-depth partnership case studies are examined: an environmental non-profit organisation, Earthwatch, in partnership with a mining company, Rio Tinto; and a youth charity, The Prince’s Trust, in partnership with the Royal Bank of Scotland. The study suggests that when collaborative non-profit organisations partner with businesses there is an “overt functional conflict deficit” or in other words there are insufficient opportunities for the expression of divergent opinions that would lead to fundamental changes within organisations and society.
