public information (one way communication; generally pretty ethical but normally from the
perspective of the organisation only, so it can be one-dimensional; non-consultative)
two-way asymmetrical (stakeholder views are sought; communication is adapted to
potentially change stakeholder behaviours; the organisation does not change its views or
behaviour; very much in the mould of modern marketing)

views and/or behaviour to meet its stakeholders ‘half-way’ [or thereabouts, at least];
characterised by negotiation and compromise, education).
