“…The need to examine and possibly re-think the relational and communication dimensions of IR is even more critical in a developing country context such as South Africa. Here finance professionals have largely been preferred in IR, compared to their counterparts with a public relations and/or communication background (see Schoonraad et al, 2005).…”

Investor Relations (IR) has gained prominence globally and is now considered to be a major contributor to corporate value. For companies to thrive in the global environment, they need to build and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with their primary stakeholder, the stockholder. Consequently, scholars have argued that for IR to maximize its benefit to companies, the profession needs to shift from one-way asymmetrical communication to two-way symmetrical communication with stockholders. Although scholars have recommended this shift, there is a paucity of studies that have explored whether two-way symmetrical communication has been embraced in IR practice. Using the two-way symmetrical model of communication as its framework, and a qualitative methodology consisting of in depth interviews, documents analysis, and qualitative content analysis, this paper assessed how Investor Relations professionals in South Africa use communication to maintain relationships with stockholders. The findings of the study show that most IR professionals in South Africa are using what we term a bridged approach, consisting of one-way and two-way symmetrical communication, to maintain relationships with stockholders. Evidence gleaned from the study further indicates that the nature of communication between IR practitioners and stockholders has broadened beyond financial issues to include engagement on non-financial issues. These findings do not only show the existence of a paradigm shift in IR practice in South Africa, they also suggest the need by IR as a field to maintain constant dialogue with Public Relations theory.

“…the three main constituents of the rhetorical situation that generates them: the exigence (a situational imperfection adjustable by means of discourse), the audience, and the situational constraints that influence the discursive action needed to modify the exigence. Thus, annual reports stem from the necessity to bridge the information gap between managers (as agents) and shareholders (as principals), so as to enable the latter to make informed decisions about the company, and to evaluate managers' performance in administrating the resources entrusted to them (Schoonraad, Grobler & Gouws 2005). Seeking to "construct a particular visibility and meaning, rather than revealing 'what was there'" (Hopwood 1996, in Stanton & Stanton 2002, annual reports also have a pronounced persuasive character, their final goal being to attract investments in the company.…”

mis en lumière. Il s'inscrit dans la ligne directrice de cet ouvrage: les effets cognitifs de stratégies linguistiques dans des contextes rhétoriques de tentatives de persuasion.Avec la contribution de Louis de Saussure, la réflexion sur l'importance de la présupposition dans les mouvements persuasifs est prolongée. Examinant les questions d'accommodation des présuppositions, Saussure considère le phénomène de présupposition de manière large en ce que des contenus inférés peuvent aussi être considérés comme des présuppositions. sur laquelle il repose indétectable, soit, en termes cognitifs, non pertinente (difficilement accessible et épistémiquement faible).Au final, même si certaines contributions diffèrent profondément, nous avons voulu un livre traversé d'une part par l'interdisciplinarité nécessaire entre sciences du langage, sciences cognitives et sciences sociales qu'exige la rhétorique et, d'autre part, par l'examen de multiples schèmes argumentatifs, fallacieux ou non, dans leurs formes, leurs effets et, pour certaines contributions, dans le cadre de pratiques discursives délimitées. Adoptant une posture descriptive et explicative visant à comprendre la mécanique de ces schèmes, les contributeurs de ce volume montrent, explicitement ou non, l'avantage de reconsidérer la rhétorique sous l'angle cognitif, avantage qui nous semblait assez peu mis en valeur dans les publications récentes révélant, elles, toute la vivacité et l'actualité de la rhétorique. Plusieurs propositions originales ou hypothèses stimulantes émaillent cet ouvrage: on espère qu'elles inspireront tant les chercheurs spécialisés en rhétorique et sciences du langage à aller voir du côté de la psychologie cognitive que les spécialistes de ce domaine à mettre en évidence la rhétoricité de leurs recherches.hypotheses emerge throughout this volume: we hope that these will inspire researchers in the language sciences who specialise in rhetoric to take on board cognitive scientific insights and also researchers in cognitive science to engage with the rhetoricity of their own research.
