Study Notes
Telephone Conferencing
- Allows multiple people in different locations to connect simultaneously.
- Can be used for meetings, discussions, and presentations.
- A disadvantage is the lack of nonverbal cues, making it difficult to understand the full meaning of messages.
Electronic Mail (E-mail)
- One of the most common methods for sending and receiving messages in organizations.
- Enables synchronous communication - real-time interaction like a telephone conversation.
- Asynchronous communication allows participants to respond at their convenience, even if they are not online at the same time.
Effective Communication
- Use vivid and interesting language to engage listeners.
- Focus on points relevant to the audience's interests to increase involvement.
- Use parallel structure to organize and present main points.
- Limit the number of main points based on time, content, and audience comprehension.

- Time Sequence: Presents information chronologically.
- Spatial Pattern: Organizes content based on spatial relationships.
- Topical Pattern: Divides a topic into related sub-topics.
- Cause-Effect Pattern: Explains causes of an event and its consequences.
