Study Notes
Communication Models in Business
- No single model encompasses all elements of communication, leading to various theories and models.
- Important communication models include Aristotle’s, Newcomb’s, Hovland’s, Thayer’s, Shannon and Weaver’s, Collin and Guetzkow’s, Circular, Interactional, Berlo’s S-M-C-R, and the Modern Model.
Aristotle’s Persuasion Model
- Based on the concept of persuasion in business communication.
- Emphasizes the speaker's style, with no interaction from the receiver; therefore, it's a one-sided model.
Newcomb’s Inter-Personal Communication Model
- Introduces a third party that can influence communication between sender and receiver.
- Lacks identification of sender and receiver, displaying only three parties involved in communication.
Advantages of Formal Communication
- Effective in finalizing policies and deciding courses of action.
- Establishes procedures to ensure compliance.
- Promises and official plans need formal documentation for future reference.
Advantages of Informal Communication
- Encourages open door policies, fostering creativity and confidence in sharing ideas.
- Lacks the fear typically associated with formal communication.
- Facilitates problem-sharing among individuals.
Limitations of Formal Communication
- Maintains distance and lacks personalization.
- Can lead to miscommunication and rumor generation in informal settings.
Visual Communication in Various Industries
- Prominent use in the medical industry for informative pamphlets to educate doctors about new medicines.
- Visual aids, such as explainer videos and presentations, enhance communication efficiency for marketers.
- Elements include colors, design, advertising, animations, illustrations, typography, and more.
Oral Communication: Benefits and Limitations
- Benefits:
- Persuasive potential when used orally; allows immediate feedback and adjustment.
- Creates a friendly atmosphere through less formality.
- Quick and effective during emergencies for immediate responses.
- Limitations:
- Higher chances of misunderstanding without written records.
- Dependent on the speaker's communication skills; poor articulation can lead to confusion.
- Ineffective for long communications due to human limitations and lower retention rates.
- Lacks legal validity and difficulty in establishing responsibility.
Barriers to Effective Communication
- Systematic Barriers: Inefficient information systems may lead to misunderstanding of communication roles.
- Personal Barriers: Factors like bias, social values, or judgment differences reduce psychological connectivity.
- Semantic Barriers: Misinterpretation of words can complicate communication.
Group Communication
- Involves exchanges among three or more individuals towards a shared goal, enhancing collective decision-making and self-expression.
- Can have both casual (friends, social gatherings) and formal (meetings, seminars) contexts.
- Benefits include direct interaction and influence on attitudes, while challenges involve time inefficiency and potential distortion based on status or skills among members.
- Group sizes vary, with small groups typically ranging from 3 to 20 members, while larger groups can consist of 100 to 200 participants.
