	M. Vos, M. and H. Schoemaker (2004) Accountability of communication management; a balanced scorecard for communication quality, Utrecht, Lemma.
	Communication experts are often required to account for the surplus value of communication and to explain how communication contributes to organisational policies. For this reason, it is important to be able to measure the quality of communication. The book presents a method to assess the quality of communication management using the balanced scorecard, an instrument, a measurement and improvement system for organisations. The instrument can be adapted to suit each individual organisation and it offers a continuous process for monitoring quality. Available via ResearchGate and free full text download via Google Books
	M. Vos and H. Schoemaker (2006), Monitoring public perception of organisations, Boom, Amsterdam.
	The monitoring of public perception is critical for a successful corporate branding. This book promotes a better understanding of public groups and the process of image forming. Knowledge of public groups and reputation are key competences of communication experts. Theory will be discussed and monitoring methods will be presented that can be put into practice. How does the brain help us to remember knowledge stored previously? How do people form an image of organisations? Even if people share an experience about an organisation, their impressions and opinions about it might be quite different. Distortions arise and stereotypes influence perception. This explains that image and reality can be far apart. Next to that the concept of identity is clarified and the relationship of identity and image. How is the communication policy linked to the organisational policy? What is corporate branding? Methods are presented to monitor trends in public perception and to measure corporate image.

	M. Vos (1992), The Corporate Image Concept; a strategic approach, ISBN 90-9005226-7 (sold out and after updating replaced by ‘Monitoring public perception of organisations’, original online in university dissertation database).
	The PhD thesis starts with a discussion on the concept of corporate image and the process of image formation by the receiver. Then the book focuses on the influence of corporate image on behaviour and the relationship with corporate identity and corporate culture is discussed. Conclusions are given about corporate image policy and measurement of corporate image. Finally the Corporate Image Concept, a model consisting of three parts, is formulated to structure the approach to corporate image policy by managers and to serve as an instrument for communication consultants.
