 COMMUNICATION

Bahasa Inggris 4
Keynote:
Effective communication policies ensure that vital
information flows through the company to all the

have changed the way people communicate, making it
possible to contact people at any time through email,
voicemail and mobile phones. This has sometimes led
to an information overload, where business people
spend more time reading and listening to messages
