CORPORATE REBRANDING: AN EVALUATION OF THE INTERNAL COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES OF THE GHANA REVENUE AUTHORITY

ABSTRACT 

Communication is key to the survival and growth of every organisation. No wonder some   scholars  hold  the  view  that communication  is  the  solution  to  all  organisational  problems  One  such  scholar  is  Goldhaber  (1984 ) who  saw  organisational  communication  as  the  ultimate determinant of   all  organizational  outcomes.  Scholars  who  share  this  view,   say  it  is  wrong  to  place  communication  on  the  same  level  as organization  behavioural  variables  such  as  motivation, leadership  and  job  satisfaction.  This  is  because  to  Goldhaber  et  al (1984),  communication is  far  more  important  than  all  other  variables.  Communication  is  the  key  factor  that  determines  all  other  variables  and  that  “without  communication ,  there  can  be  no  motivation,  leadership productivity  and  no  organisation  (Goldhaber  et  al  1984, pg. 305). Internal  communication  which  is  a  subset  of  general  communication  deals  with  the  exchange  of  information,  creating  understanding  and  behaviours  within  an  organisation.  It  is  defined  as  “  the  symbolic  interaction  that  occurs  within  organisations among  organisation  members” (Pearson  et  al  2003). When  employed   very  well  in  an  organisation,  internal  communication  can  help  improve  the  culture  of  an  organisation through  the  active  participation  of  all employees  and  management.  It  involves  the  use  of  an  integrated  use  of  communication channels  to  engage  employees  and  to  ensure  their  effective  buy-in to  the  organisation’s  mission, vision  policies  and  programmes. This  study  seeks  to  find  out  the communication between   management of   Ghana  Revenue  Authority (GRA)   and  their  employees.
