COMMUNICATION
Communication is the transmission of information from one point or person
to another point or person. Involves two-way process of reaching mutual
understanding, in which participants not only exchange (encode-decode)
information, news, ideas and feelings but also create and share meaning. In
general, communication is a means of connecting people or places. In
business, it is a key function of management--an organization cannot operate
without communication between levels, departments and employees. See also
communications.
Trade business cannot function efficiently if the buyers and sellers do not
make proper use of communication channels. It is through communication
that all formalities of transaction are completed. An efficient communication
system brings businessman close to each other not only in one country but
in the whole world.
ELEMENTS OF COMMUNICATIONS
Seven major elements of communication process are: (1) sender (2) ideas (3)
encoding (4) communication channel (5) receiver (6) decoding and (7)
feedback.
1. Sender: The person who intends to convey the message with the
intention of passing information and ideas to others is known as sender
or communicator.
5. Receiver: Receiver is the person who receives the message or for whom
the message is meant for. It is the receiver who tries to understand the
message in the best possible manner in achieving the desired objectives.
6. Decoding: The person who receives the message or symbol from the
communicator tries to convert the same in such a way so that he may
extract its meaning to his complete understanding.

Feedback
communication within the workplace. Thankfully, this is easier today that it’s
ever been, as there are a wide variety of ways to keep in touch with your
customer base. Consider this course on connecting with your customer base
through blogging for one method, but no matter what method you use to reach
out to your customers, keeping constant communication going will bring your
company much closer with the ones that spend the money on your products
or services.
Enforcing Rules
Every business must have a code of policies and procedures that must be
followed in order for everyone to succeed. Maybe there is a specific process for
a task, for example, or maybe there are certain consequences for
underperforming. Either way, you want to make all this very clear to your
employees, or it isn’t possible to do this without strong communication skills.
Enhanced Innovation
No matter how skilled and talented the people at the top of your company are,
you can never have too many ideas. By encouraging everyone at your
business, whether big or small, to openly share their thoughts without fear of
being shut down, you will quickly notice the employees that have the most to
add. Your best employees have ideas on how you can make your business run
even better, and it’s wise to give them a chance to speak. A business can
become more innovative overnight just by working together to be good
communicators, and that’s bad news for your competition and good news for
your revenue.
