What is the difference between proactive and reactive public relations?

In: Human Resources, Management and Strategy, The Difference Between [Edit categories]

Answer:

Put simply, a proactive policy involves making a sacrifice now for an uncertain future. It is doing something that can or would prevent a future problem. For example, saving money in a bank account. But being too proactive can be seen as paranoid. A reactive policy however, involves taking action after the problem has already risen. Just remember everything has costs and benefits.
