    Study Notes

    Nature and Process of Communication

    • Communication is the exchange of ideas, messages, and information between two or more people through a medium. The goal is shared understanding.
    • Communication is derived from the Latin word "communicare", meaning to share, impart, or exchange.
    • Communication is a two-way process, requiring a sender and a receiver. One person cannot communicate alone.
    • Communication is effective when the receiver understands the intended message and responds accordingly. A positive or negative response, or lack thereof, defines communication's completeness.
    • Communication encompasses verbal and nonverbal communication, and effective communication depends on achieving the desired reaction from the receiver.

    Objectives of Communication

    • Communication within an organization includes interorganizational and interorganizational communication, plus personal communication.

    • Interorganizational communication takes place between individuals or groups inside the organization (e.g., orders, notices, emails)

    • Interorganizational communication occurs between a business and individuals outside the organization (e.g., presentations, advertisements).

    • Personal communication lacks a specified objective, including conversations, gossip etc

    • Planning relies on communication to obtain information to implement plans.

    • Communication helps with motivation by aligning employee needs with motivators.

    • Exchange of information builds trust and job satisfaction.

    • Effective communication is vital for coordination of resources and alignment of individual goals with organizational goals.

    • Adaptability to change requires communication with external stakeholders

    • Communication is vital for conducting internal business and relationships and achieving industrial harmony.

    • Effective communication is integral to all managerial roles (interpersonal, informational, and decisional).

    • Communication is essential for leadership and successful organizational objectives.

    • Communication efficiency impacts control systems, thereby impacting planning effectiveness.

    • Communication is essential for training and development programs.

    • Effective communication is critical for organizational operations

    Principles of Communication

    • The 7 Cs of Communication (clear, concise, concrete, correct, coherent, complete, courteous) provide a framework for effective communication.
    • Clear communication focuses on the purpose and message directly.
    • Concise messages are brief and to the point.
    • Concrete communication is specific, using details and facts.
    • Correctness ensures accuracy of information and free of errors.
    • Coherence connects ideas logically and maintains a consistent tone.
    • Completeness includes all necessary information.
    • Courtesy utilizes respectful language.

    Nature/Features of Communication

    • Communication is the exchange of ideas, concepts, information, and messages.
    • It involves two or more parties: a sender (speaker/writer) and a receiver (listener/reader).
    • Communication is a two-way process where the receiver responds (feedback)

    Process of Communication

    • Communication consists of eight components: Idea, Sender, Encoding, Message, Channel/Medium, Receiver, Decoding & Feedback.
    • The sender initiates the process by establishing an idea, which is then encoded into a message appropriate for the channel and medium.
    • The receiver decodes the message, receiving feedback from the sender as part of the process.
    • A vital aspect of communication is feedback. Without feedback, the communication process is incomplete.
