"Pulling relationship" refers to the improper interpersonal activities such as "setting up personal relationship", "finding a way out" and "going through the back door". On the surface, the direct pur□□□e of public relations and "pulling relations"seems to be the same. They both hope that through interpersonal communication, the organization or enterprise can get the support of relevant parties, so as to solve problems smoothly. Therefore, some people think that as long as this goal can be achieved, any means can be adopted. What kind of public relations or "pulling relationship" are just different names. But in essence, the emergence of public relations is to fight against the bad phenomenon of "pulling relations". Therefore,there are essential differences between the two.
　　First, they have different social bases. Public relations are the product of the rapid development of commodity economy, the rapid expansion of information dissemination and the unprecedented complexity of modern economic life. "Pulling relations" is the product of closed and backward feudal economy. It came into being under the condition of low level of social productivity and insufficient goods and services.
　　Under the condition of highly developed commodity economy, enterprises encounter competitors, the traditional seller's market is gradually transformed into the buyer's market, and consumers have a choice. It is important for enterprises to survive and develop. How to expand the influence of enterprises in the public has become an important issue for modern entrepreneurs. Due to the expansion of the amount of information dissemination, enterprises need to timely and effectively transmit their own information to the public in the vast ocean of information, and also to timely and fully feed back the extemal information. Due to the unprecedented complexity of modern economic life, enterprises are facing a series of unprecedented new problems. All these problems need to be deeply studied and taken seriously, and a group of professionals who are familiar with public opinions and information dissemination are needed to solve them. Public relations is a summary of such practical experience.
　　Second, the pur□□□e of public relations and "pulling relationship" are different.The pursuit of public relations is that the economic benefits of enterprises are basically consistent with the interests of the public. Through long-term, □□□nned and effective public relations work, the enterprise will establish a good image in the society, and the enterprise will continue to develop under the premise of consistent with the public interest. The basic starting point of "pulling relations" is to benefit oneself at the expense of others, and to seek the private interests of individuals or small groups. Social interaction is regarded as a privilege to seek personal interests,and various social relations are regarded as private property of individuals or small groups, and as vested interests of individuals or small groups. As a result, individuals tend to fill their own pockets, while social and public interests are seriously damaged.
