Communication
Organizational
decisions are usually
made at the top and
then flow down to the
people who will carry
them out.
To solve problems
and make intelligent
decisions,
managers must learn
what’s going on in the
organization.
Communication also
flows from one
department to
another, either
laterally or
diagonally.
The Grapevine
Communication
(informal communication
network) supplements
official channels. People
have casual conversations
at work. Most deal with
personal matters, but
about 80 percent of the
information on the
grapevine pertains to
business.

Components of Communication Cont’d
As the source of the message, you need to be clear about
why you're communicating, and what you want to
communicate. You also need to be confident that the
information you're communicating is useful and accurate.
Encoding.
1. Sender / Source
This is the process of transferring the information you want to
communicate into a form that can be sent and correctly decoded at the
other end. Your success in encoding depends partly on your ability to
convey information clearly and simply
A key part of this is knowing your audience: Failure to understand who you
are communicating with will result in delivering messages that are
misunderstood.
![Page 23: Chap 1 intro to communication](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052303/554c5c0fb4c905452e8b5109/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
2. Message
The message is the information that you want to
communicate.
Components of Communication Cont’d
3. Channel/ Medium
Messages are conveyed through channels, with verbal
channels including face-to-face meetings, telephone
and videoconferencing; and written channels including
letters, emails, memos and reports.
Different channels have different strengths and
weaknesses. For example, it's not particularly effective
to give a long list of directions verbally, while you'll
quickly cause problems if you give someone negative
feedback using email.
![Page 24: Chap 1 intro to communication](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052303/554c5c0fb4c905452e8b5109/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
4. Receiver
Your message is delivered to individual members of your
audience. No doubt, you have in mind the actions or
reactions you hope your message will get from this
audience.
Components of Communication Cont’d
Decoding
Just as successful encoding is a skill, so is successful
decoding (involving, for example, taking the time to
read a message carefully, or listen actively to it.) Just
as confusion can arise from errors in encoding, it can
also arise from decoding errors. This is particularly the
case if the decoder doesn't have enough knowledge to
understand the message.
![Page 25: Chap 1 intro to communication](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052303/554c5c0fb4c905452e8b5109/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
5. Feedback
Components of Communication Cont’d
Your audience will provide you with feedback, as verbal
and nonverbal reactions to your communicated
message. Pay close attention to this feedback, as it is
the only thing that can give you confidence that your
audience has understood your message. If you find
that there has been a misunderstanding, at least you
have the opportunity to send the message a second
time.
![Page 26: Chap 1 intro to communication](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052303/554c5c0fb4c905452e8b5109/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

6. Context
Components of Communication Cont’d
The situation in which your message is
delivered is the context. This may include
the surrounding environment or broader
culture (corporate culture, international
cultures, and so on).

31
1. Conventions of Meaning
A fundamental principle of communication is that the
symbols the sender uses to communicate message
must have essentially the same meaning in both the
sender’s and receiver’s mind.
Miscommunication occurs when the sender and
receiver have different meanings for the symbols
used.
Denotative Meaning:
Denotative meaning is the primary, common and original
meaning of a word/expression.
e.g.
Connotative Meaning:
Connotative meaning is the secondary, culturally assigned
and narrowly acceptable meaning of the
word/expression

2. Perception of Reality
Complex, infinite, and continuously changing, the
material world provides a special reality to each
individual.
• Abstracting
When we select some facts and omit others, you are
Abstracting.
• Inferring
Inferences are conclusion drawn from evidence.
• Risk of Inferring
We must realize that inferences may be incorrect or unreliable
& anticipate the risks before acting on them.

A speaker/writer should communicate keeping
in mind the addressee’s attitude, cultural
values and personal opinions.
Values:
Attitude:
• A receiver’s attitude toward a message can
determine whether it is accepted, rejected,
distorted or avoided.
• Favorable or Unfavorable Information
• Senders’ credibility
Opinions:
• People react favorably when the message the
receive agree with their mental filters.
• Closed Minds
