The double applied research conducted in Spain with Dircom partners - the association of communication directors of major companies in the country - and with public relations and communications agencies/consultancies show the trend that, today, in the Spanish professional practice, the instrumental orientation (tactical) is prevalent, correlated with what happens in other European countries (ECM-European Communication Monitor). This can be deduced from the assignment and the prevalent use of audits clearly associated with the measurement of Output results.
