網際網路多媒體產業對臺灣資訊產業重要性不言而喻,本研究針對臺灣網際網路多媒體產業(再細分為:硬體業、軟體業、資訊服務業)之公共關係運作做一深入並且廣泛的探討,利用個案研究法與問卷調查法發現以下結果。 本產業之公共關係運作多為輔助行銷機能,其次為建立企業良好形象。並且對網際網路多媒體產業而言,重要的公關對象不僅限於顧客、媒體,並且還有整體產業上、中、下游之供應商與經銷商、還有傳統產業中較被忽略之組織內部的員工。所以,針對這些公共關係之對象所舉行的公共關係活動,也因為各產業對相關公眾偏重不同而有差異。 在公共關係的工具使用方面,網際網路多媒體產業利用客戶資料庫、電子郵件與公司網站進行公關已成趨勢,不但使用的方式非常多元,使用頻率也非常的高,網際網路上的所有相關運作模式,都成為一股風潮,最重要的是這種工具,不但成本低、方便使用、並且效率高。 與傳統產業相互比較,網際網路多媒體產業本身具有高科技之專業性,所以企業內部之公關人員必須具有專業知識背景與溝通能力,方能將科技語言轉換成普羅文字,讓相關公眾方便瞭解;並且產業本身的良好形象,讓網際網路多媒體產業之公共關係運作起來更為事半功倍。
