Business Communication

The Medium

The Medium How the communication is to be made Important to select an appropriate medium for the message: Need to consider the needs of the sender, the nature of the receiver and the aims of the communication Inappropriate medium can be a barrier to effective communication

Value

Value Vast majority of problems in business are caused by ineffective communication in one form or another Businesses essentially human focused organisations Value of good communications therefore inestimable

To Whom?

To Whom? Who the communication is aimed at is an important factor: The nature of the medium and the content may depend on who it is aimed at Necessity of being sensitive to the receiver Should communication be formal or informal? E.g.

To Whom E-mail communication: Does it need to adhere to normal rules of spelling, punctuation and grammar? Is it appropriate to use text speak? Is this OK 4U or is txt 1 stp 2fr? Are there different rules for different situations? How do you know what the receiver expects? What damage can be caused by inappropriate e-mail messages?

Type Type of message may be an important factor in determining the medium, content, approach, etc. Good news? Bad news? Information? Instruction? Each of the above may require a different approach and a different medium.

The Message

The Message What is the communication designed to achieve? This needs to be considered carefully to judge the best method of delivery and to judge the effectiveness of the feedback as to whether the message has been successful.

Role of ICT

Role of ICT ICT has brought many advantages but also has its limitations: It enables speedy communication It can be cheap and save on costs (e.g. videoconferencing) It can be expensive in hardware requirements It can seem impersonal It can be abused

Barriers

Barriers Anything that prevents successful communication from occurring Complex and multi-layered Can be technical or generated by the medium used, etc. but: Main problem is human behaviour and psychology, e.g.

Emotional Interference A significant factor influencing successful communication Emotions - anger, frustration, happiness, enthusiasm, need to be defensive, desire to be assertive, etc. Body language – says far more about communication than we ever realise! An enduring image – the message this photograph was meant to send out was vital to Middle East peace. What does the body language of those in the image suggest is also being communicated to the world? Title: The handshake.
