Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Communications - Journalism, Journalism Professions, grade: 2:1, University of London (London College of Communication, London University of the Arts London), language: English, abstract: This research bridges the relationship between strategic human resource management and organisational culture to enable business success and growth in the magazine publishing industry based on a case study of Future plc, one of the leading companies in the specialist magazine sector in the UK.

The findings suggested that there is an innate connection between communications, employee motivation and business success.. Future plc motivates its employees by providing access to comprehensive tailor-made internal training, formal appraisal, recognition and the possibility of promotion instead of offering more money.

The survey findings suggested that managers believe, it is not important to hold regular meetings to inform staff about the changes that takes place within the company and that the departments do not communicate effectively resulting in bad performance.
