We argue that strategic communication is a center piece in making or breaking organizations and thus must be well managed. And that, to manage strategic communication effectively, it must be measured effectively. We used an analytical survey design with mixed methods to measure strategic communication. We collected quantitative data in two phases. In phase one, we used a sample of 170 organizations to test and refine the designed measurement model. In phase two, we used a sample of 223 organizations in the same population to confirm the validity and reliability of the refined instrument. We collected qualitative data to compliment the quantitative data. The findings of the study revealed that strategic communication is defined as cognitive awareness and emotional attachment to the purpose for communication. The study contributes to literature by providing a valid and reliable tool for assessing the level of strategic communication in organizations.enStrategic CommunicationInteractionsCognitive AwarenessEmotional AttachmentArticle
