Life blood of the organization

Communication is life and life is communication. It start with birth and continues till death. The very success of an organization is built with built upon effective communication. It establishes relationship between the superior and the subordinate, and the quality of relationship resolves around the nature of communication.
The business of an organization is run on interchange of information, plane, ideas, proposals, use of data; and conducting discussions, meeting, and research which are all different forms of communication.
In an organization the manager has to read, speak, write, listen, observe, and supervise that all are media of communication. He uses letters, reports, proposals, and memos for written communication.
Business firms must send information about their goods and services to consumers and customers. They do so by advertising, publicity, personal selling, and other sales promotional techniques. Managers must know the financial position and income and expenditure of their firms. They maintain journals, ledgers, trial balance, worksheets, and prepare balance sheets, income statements, and budgets. Accounting is an extremely important branch of communication.

Characteristics of Mass Communication

Five characteristics of mass communication have been identified by Cambridge University's John Thompson. Firstly, it "comprises both technical and institutional methods of production and distribution". This is evident throughout the history of the media, from print to the Internet, each suitable for commercial utility.

Conclusion

Open communication climates encourage employees through supporting them, through allowing them to participate in decision making, and, through trusting them, which assures the integrity of information channels. Ultimately, the openness of any communication climate depends upon the character of the participants.

Yet, while open communication climate may make formidable personal demands, such openness ultimately rewards both the individual and the organization in providing an environment where people thrive and enterprise flourishes.

Trusting Environments

All parties in information exchange must tell the truth as they perceive it. They must also ensure that information is correct. Credibility is any employee's greatest asset. A reputation for carelessness, lying, deceit, or manipulation undercuts all future messages. The result of credibility is trust; it underpins all human relationships. Employees have to believe their information sources. If, for example, at weekly meetings, the staff hears contradictory information about project plans, decisions, or salary, they will dis­miss all information because they cannot confidently choose which to believe. If one week they are told the start-up date is November 14, the next week November 20, and following week November 7, they will understandably dismiss all the information as not credible. Repeated instances of passing such contradictory information will corrupt the integrity of the communication channel. People quickly dismiss information sources that prove to be wrong or untrustworthy...
